Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Mallikarjun Kharge led a protest Tuesday outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official residence in New Delhi [1].

The demonstration signals a widening opposition front against the current administration, linking government accountability to the perceived failure of national examination security and the subsequent treatment of dissenters.

The protest took place at Lok Kalyan Marg and near Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital [1], [3]. The leaders demanded the immediate resignations of Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan [1], [2].

These demands follow a police crackdown on supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) [1], [3]. The CJP supporters were demonstrating against the leak of the NEET-UG exam paper, a controversy that has sparked nationwide outrage among students and educators [1], [2].

The event occurred one day after a CJP-led march to Parliament [1]. The opposition leaders used the gathering to condemn the use of force against those protesting the exam leaks, arguing that the government's response to the crisis has been inadequate [1], [2].

Other opposition figures, including Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav, and Arvind Kejriwal, have aligned with these demands for government accountability [2]. The central government has not yet responded to the calls for the ministers to step down [2].

“Congress leaders demanded the immediate resignations of Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.”

This escalation represents a strategic effort by the Congress party to align itself with grassroots student anger and third-party movements like the CJP. By targeting the Education and Home ministries simultaneously, the opposition is framing the NEET-UG leak not just as an administrative failure, but as a systemic issue of governance and civil liberties.
