A day after his ally Rahul Gandhi's remarks triggered an uproar in Lok Sabha, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav targeted the Narendra Modi government today with a speech laced with sarcasm and peppered with poetry.
"The achievement of the past 10 years is the birth of a competitive exams mafia. A youngster would prepare for the exam and take it, and then come to know that the paper was leaked. Papers of all exams were leaked. And now on June, the paper of the country's most prestigious exam was leaked," he said.
Mr Yadav was referring to the irregularities surrounding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test that have sparked nationwide protests.
"Why are the papers leaking? The government is engineering these leaks because it doesn't want to give jobs," he alleged.
