NEET Re-Exam Row: Students Miss Test Amid Traffic Chaos In Bengaluru, BJP Targets Congress

A political controversy has erupted in Bengaluru after three NEET-UG re-examination candidates reportedly missed their test due to delays and were seen climbing a college gate in a last-ditch attempt to enter the exam centre. Parents alleged that a Congress rally and resulting traffic congestion prevented students from reaching the venue on time. The BJP accused the Karnataka government of prioritizing politics over students, while Congress dismissed the criticism as a manufactured controversy. Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge denied the allegations, stating that only three students were affected and cited individual reasons for their delay. The incident has reignited debate over exam management and political accountability.
