Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:

An agitation was organised by NSUI at Kranti Chowk on Thursday to protest against the alleged paper leak, malpractices in the NEET examination, and the inefficient functioning of the National testing Agency (NTA). On this occasion, it was demanded that the union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, should immediately resign by accepting moral responsibility for jeopardising the future of lakhs of students. Another key demand was that the NTA, which had allegedly failed to maintain transparency, should be dissolved.

The protest was led by NSUI district president Abhishek Shinde Patil and state vice-president Shadab Shaikh. MP Dr Kalyan Kale was specially present to extend support. Along with him, several prominent leaders, including Kiran Dongaonkar, Bhausaheb Jagtap, Dr Jitendra Dehade, Dr Nilesh Ambewadikar, Babasaheb Pawar, Ashok Dolas, Atish Pitale, and Prakash Sanap, participated in the protest and criticised the government.

On this occasion, a large number of office-bearers and students were also present, including Akash Ragde, Ejaz Shaikh, Zaid Shaikh, Sumedh Gaikwad, Umar Patel, Nikhil Gaikwad, Srujan Gavade, and Rushi Dukale.
