New Delhi: A political war of words erupted on X after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ongoing investigation
into the NEET-UG paper leak case.
The remarks came after the Supreme Court was informed that the Prime Minister was personally monitoring issues related to the probe into the examination controversy. During the hearing, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court, “Honourable Prime Minister is personally supervising.”
The submission was made after the apex court sought details from the government regarding the investigation process and how conclusions in the probe would be reached.

Reacting to reports of the court proceedings, Rahul Gandhi targeted the Prime Minister on social media.
“PM Modi also personally supervised the NEET paper leak,” the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha wrote on X.
The Congress MP has repeatedly criticised the BJP-led government over the NEET-UG paper leak controversy and has demanded accountability from Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the Prime Minister.
BJP hits back
The BJP strongly objected to Gandhi’s remarks, accusing him of misrepresenting the government’s submission before the court.
BJP leader Amit Malviya wrote on X, “It is preposterous, outrageous, and a stretch beyond reason to suggest that Prime Minister Modi personally supervised the NEET paper leak. This is precisely why Rahul Gandhi struggles to be taken seriously on matters of national importance.”
He further added, “Instead of standing with students and contributing constructively, Rahul Gandhi has once again chosen sensationalism over responsibility.”
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi also criticised the Congress leader’s interpretation of the court proceedings.
“The problem with Rahul Gandhi is that up till now he was not able to understand the ‘Issue’ now he is unable to read the word ‘Issue’”.
“@RahulGandhi reads only Paper Leak, doesn’t read the word ‘issue’. This shows that they are ‘Clueless’, ‘Issueless’ & ‘Shameless’ in misquoting,” he wrote.
