Ranit Kr. Singh , New Delhi - A young NEET aspirant from Madhya Pradesh has died by suicide in Nagpur, Maharashtra, leaving behind a note expressing deep anxiety over potential exam retests following recent paper leak controversies. The tragedy has intensely escalated the ongoing national backlash surrounding examination irregularities and cancellations. The student’s family, originally from Mauganj district, discovered the devastating note hidden inside one of her books after returning home to perform her final rites.
The incident has ignited a massive political storm, with major Opposition parties holding the Central government directly accountable for the student's death. Leaders from across the political spectrum unified in their criticism, arguing that the tragedy is a direct consequence of systemic failure. They heavily criticized the administration's handling of national examinations, pointing out that structural chaos and a lack of accountability continue to place unbearable psychological pressure on millions of competitive exam candidates nationwide.
Politicians and parties issued sharp rebukes on social media to condemn the administration. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated, "Modi ji, power is not permanent—it comes and goes. But the extent to which you've ruined the education system in 12 years, an entire generation of young Indians is paying the price for it." AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal added, "Conducting the examination again is not justice. The education mafia that has captured the system must be eradicated." Concurrently, the Trinamool Congress released a statement declaring, "A young NEET aspirant is gone, leaving behind shattered dreams and a grieving family. But how many more tragedies will it take for Narendra Modi ji to wake up?"
