Chandigarh, July 25, 2026: Senior BJP leader and member of the party’s National Council Sanjay Tandon reacting to the Education Minister’s resignation on the NEET issue said, “The Education Minister’s decision to resign shows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to accountability, transparency and dignity of youth.”
Tandon hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisive initiatives to restore public confidence in the National Testing Agency (NTA) and strengthen the integrity of competitive examinations across the country. Tandon said, “The PM’s bold reforms to restore faith in competitive examinations is a welcome step.”
“The decision to establish fast-track courts for cases related to examination fraud sends a powerful message that there will be zero tolerance for those attempting to play with the future of our students. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again demonstrated that the interests of India’s youth remain at the heart of his governance,” Tandon said.
He added that fast-track courts will ensure speedy prosecution of those involved in examination malpractices, this coupled with comprehensive reforms in the NTA, reflects the Prime Minister’s resolve to protect the future of India’s youth.
Tandon observed that honest students deserve an examination system that rewards merit alone. “Every deserving candidate must compete on a level playing field without fear that dishonest elements will compromise the examination process. The reforms initiated under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi are aimed precisely at creating such a robust, transparent and foolproof system,” he said.Tandon urged students to remain focused on their preparations, assuring them that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is committed to ensuring that merit, transparency and justice remain the guiding principles of every national-level examination.
Tandon noted that the Centre has acted with determination by initiating structural reforms, strengthening security protocols, improving accountability within the NTA and ensuring that those responsible for compromising examinations face swift legal consequences.
He further said that the government’s ongoing reforms including enhanced security mechanisms, institutional restructuring of the NTA, deployment of technology to improve transparency and measures to modernise the conduct of examinations will significantly strengthen the credibility of NEET-UG and all other national examinations conducted by the agency.
