There is an uproar across the country over the NEET scam. The future of lakhs of students is at stake and the opposition has surrounded the government on this issue. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar made an important announcement in the Assembly on this issue. “The central and state governments have taken seriously the irregularities in the ‘NET’ examination for admission to medical courses and action has been initiated by various agencies. The culprits have been arrested. To prevent such irregularities in future, the central government has issued an ordinance. It provides for strict action against the culprits as well as heavy financial penalties.
The idea of handing over the responsibility of medical course entrance examination to the states as before also came up. The central government will investigate and take a decision in this regard. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said in the Assembly today that the state government is committed to ensuring that the students who study day and night and give the exam honestly do not suffer any kind of loss and the suggestions given by the opposition parties will have a positive effect. Consideration was given in this regard.
Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar, former Speaker Nana Patole and other members had raised the issue of irregularities in the NEET exam in the Assembly through an adjournment motion. However, even after the adjournment was rejected by the President, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, while giving information in this regard in the House, said that there have been incidents of paper tearing in the NEET exam across the country. The papers have been written by fake students. Large-scale financial malpractice has also been revealed in the exam. Such things should not happen, honest students studying should not be harmed. The central and state governments are making every effort to ensure that the culprits get the harshest punishment. The central government has issued an ordinance providing for strict punishment and heavy financial penalty for the culprits. A proposal to conduct this examination at the state level in future is also being considered. Making the NET exam transparent, corruption-free is the role of lakhs of students as well as opposition parties and the state government.

Vijay Wadettiwar demands that the government should clarify its position on action on NEET
Meanwhile, is the government going to take responsibility by demanding that the government clarify the situation regarding NEET or not? This question was asked by Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar. ‘NEET exam is in full swing. Most of the students appear in this exam from Maharashtra. After such a big scam, the role of the government is not clear. The students of Maharashtra have suffered the most. The Education Minister says that something is wrong. Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Vijay Wadettiwar today questioned the government in the Assembly regarding the NEET exam whether the government will take responsibility or not.
Mr. Wadettiwar said, 67 students got marks. Maharashtra students suffered. Protests are happening everywhere in the state. 15 thousand students took to the streets in Nanded. Therefore, the government should clarify its position regarding this examination. If there are fake doctors tomorrow, then people’s health will be at stake. The government should also tell that some people have been arrested in the state. Wadettiwar said.
