BJP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has broken his silence on the NEET paper leak controversy during a fiery speech in Parliament. Speaking during the debate on the Anti-Paper Leak Bill, Chadha said paper leaks cannot be solved through media soundbites and require institutional reforms. The former AAP leader backed the Centre's legislation, praised the government's response to the crisis, and announced that future NEET examinations would shift to a computer-based format. Chadha also took aim at his former party, saying student protests should not become a platform for a failed party to stage a political comeback.

NEET Re-exam row has taken a political turn in Bengaluru after several NEET-UG aspirants reportedly missed their examination due to severe traffic congestion triggered by a Congress convention. Emotional scenes unfolded outside an examination centre as students arrived minutes after the entry deadline and were denied permission to appear for the test. The incident has now snowballed into a political battle, with the BJP and JD(S) accusing the Congress government of poor planning and traffic mismanagement on the day of a major political convention in the city. Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge has rejected the allegations, insisting that traffic advisories were issued well in advance and disputing claims that large numbers of students were affected.
