AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday criticized the Centre over its handling of examination paper leaks, alleging that repeated irregularities in recruitment and competitive exams continue to impact students across India. In a post on X, Singh described paper leaks as a serious issue affecting millions of students and accused the government of avoiding meaningful discussions on the matter. He claimed that many young people have been pushed to extreme distress, while the BJP-led government has failed to acknowledge their concerns.
Singh also highlighted a recent discussion programme held in Prayagraj, where students participated in conversations about paper leaks. He said the campaign would continue in the coming days. The remarks come amid an ongoing political debate over alleged irregularities in various competitive and recruitment examinations across the country.
On Monday, Singh alleged that Uttar Pradesh Police and government officials attempted to disrupt his interaction with students in Prayagraj, calling it an example of growing authoritarianism. Sharing a video of the incident on social media, he claimed that authorities were trying to prevent discussions about an issue that affects millions of students.
In the video, Singh questioned officials about why a discussion held inside a conference room was being interrupted. He argued that talking about paper leaks in a democratic setup should not be treated as an offence, especially when the issue impacts countless students and job aspirants. AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal also criticized the BJP government, saying that while paper leaks themselves do not seem to concern the ruling party, discussions surrounding the issue appear to be unwelcome.
The controversy unfolds amid ongoing concerns surrounding the examination process, including the rescheduled NEET-UG 2026 exam and allegations of administrative lapses and paper leaks. Investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation are underway, with multiple arrests reported, while student protests have intensified in several regions.
