The education minister Dharmendra Pradhan was responding to Rahul Gandhi calling for the postponement of the NEET examination as many other exams are scheduled around Sept 12.
Amid the growing clamor for the postponement of the National-Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) scheduled for September 12, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday (September 8) took a dig at former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and said he was a “pseudo expert” with an “overflowing vanity and a misplaced sense of entitlement of a failed crown prince”.
The education minister was responding to Gandhi’s call to postpone the NEET exam, as many more exams are scheduled around September 12.
For the uninformed, Congress, with a section of students, is calling for the postponement of medical entrance exams even as the Supreme Court on Monday refused to postpone the NEET-UG exam, saying it did not want to interfere with the process and it will be “very unfair” to postpone it.
Criticizing Gandhi for “questioning the wisdom” of the Supreme Court and experts on the NEET timeline, Pradhan said the “Yuvraj (prince)” should stick to “his expertise in concocting lies rather than to publish statements on subjects he does not understand ”.
“Rahul Gandhi sees himself as an expert in everything without having an iota of knowledge. The overflowing vanity and the misplaced sense of entitlement of a failed crown prince is no alibi for meddling in the exam schedule, giving stress excessive and causing pain to the students, “Pradhan said in a firm response.
“What makes Rahul Gandhi the ‘pseudo expert’ questioning the collective wisdom of the judiciary and real experts? Yuvraj should stick to his expertise in concocting lies, peddling half-truths, and to be the antagonist of all that progresses, rather than issuing sweeping statements on the issues he has no understanding, “Pradhan said.
