Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes Centre Over NEET Protests

Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, spoke to reporters outside Parliament on Monday.

He criticized the central government for how they handled protests by students who took the NEET exam.

Yadav said the government was not listening to the students' concerns and was instead using police to suppress them.

He also mentioned that opposition MPs were detained while students were being beaten up.

Yadav linked the protests to a lack of jobs, saying that if the government had provided more employment, students might not have protested.

He also shared pictures of the protests on social media with a poem about revolution against injustice.
