RJD shares Bihar Deputy CM’s alleged photo with NEET paper leak accused

Tejashwi Yadav accuses Bihar Deputy CM of NEET scam involvement, BJP diverting attention, RJD demands exam cancellation.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on June 21 alleged that Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha “wants to bring out the truth about his colleague Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary because he has connections with the mastermind of NEET scam evidence of which is everywhere”.

Sharing an alleged photo of the ‘mastermind’ with Mr. Choudhary, Mr. Yadav said that the BJP’s motive is to divert the INDIA alliance’s attention from this ‘nationwide mega-scam’.

Earlier on Friday, the RJD leader broke his silence on the alleged NEET paper leak case after Mr. Sinha sought to draw a link between Mr. Yadav’s personal secretary and an accused engineer.

He said that the BJP wanted to “divert the attention” from the kingpin so they were dragging his name.

The RJD leader said, “The INDIA alliance is united on this issue. We want the NEET exam to be immediately cancelled. The (BJP) have all the investigation agencies, they can call the PS or PA anyone for probe. They want to divert the issue from the kingpin. Those who want to drag my name or my PA’s name, this will not benefit anyone. The engineer who is talked about could be a beneficiary but Amit Anand and Nitish Kumar are the masterminds of the paper leak. The people of the country know that whenever BJP comes to power, then paper leaks happen.”

Mr. Tejashwi further said that paper leaks have taken place in BJP-ruled States of Bihar, Gujarat and Haryana.

“Only Vijay Sinha is making these claims. The Economic Offences Wing (EOU) has never raised any question. When the arrests happened in May since then we have been raising our voices to carry out a probe. The engineer (Sikandar Yadvendu) about whom they are talking was recruited in 2021 by them in the urban development from the water resources department. Why do they want to save Amit Anand and Nitish Kumar? The truth will prevail soon. When paper leaks happened in the third phase of teachers’ recruitment test (TRE) conducted by BPSC the accused got bail without going to prison,” Mr. Yadav said.
