Hyderabad, June 23 (NSS): Demanding cancellation of National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) over alleged irregularities, Telangana Youth Congress workers attempted to lay siege to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s State head office at Nampally here on Sunday.
Led by Telangana Youth Congress president Shivasena Reddy, the Congress workers staged a protest near the BJP’s State office for some time and later, tried to lay siege to the office, demanding the cancellation of NEET exam paper and punish those responsible for the irregularities.
However, the police have put up barricades on the road and prevented the agitators from entering into the BJP office. Some Congress cadre tried to climb up the barricades, but their efforts have been futile.
Speaking on the occasion, Youth Congress president Shivasena Reddy alleged that the BJP government at the Centre had failed to maintain the sanctity of prestigious NEET exam and about
14 Union Ministers were involved in the exam leakage episode.
“If the accused who have caused the leakage of the NEET exam are investigated, the actual names of BJP leaders will be come out. Then, the Union government will be collapsed. It is for the reason that the Centre is not responding seriously to this issue,” he pointed out.
The Youth Congress president also demanded the resignation of Union HRD Minister for taking the responsibility over the irregularities in the NEET exam.
“If the Union government fails to take stern action on those responsible for the malpractices, the Youth Congress will soon
prepare for the siege of Parliament,” he cautioned.(NSS)
