Political Battle Over NEET-UG Paper Leak Protests
There's a big protest in Delhi about a test called NEET-UG that some students think was leaked.
A group called CJP has been protesting for almost a month at Jantar Mantar, asking for changes in how tests are run and for the Education Minister to step down.
Then, Rahul Gandhi from the Congress party led a protest outside the Prime Minister's house, which got a lot of attention.
The AAP party says this took focus away from the students' protest, but Congress says they're just helping the students' cause.
The CJP says their protest is only at Jantar Mantar.
Everyone is arguing about who is really helping the students and who is just making it about politics.
CJP has been protesting at Jantar Mantar for nearly a month over alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
Rahul Gandhi led a march to the Prime Minister's residence, shifting focus to his detention and Congress-BJP confrontation.
AAP accuses Congress of diverting attention from the student movement.
Congress maintains their actions amplify students' demands and force government response.
CJP clarifies their protest is confined to Jantar Mantar.
