TMC supremo Ban🀅erjee has demanded PM Modi to revert to the previous system in which states conducted their entrance examinations.
“I strongly urge ꦯyou to consider and take immediate steps to restore the previous system of conducting this examination by the state governments and abolish the NEET examination. Th🌸is will help restore normalcy and confidence of the aspirant students in the system,” she has said in a letter to PM Modi.
She said the matter sh🍸ould be investigated thoroughly.
“Such instances jeopardise the career and aspirations of students who look forward to get admission into these medical courses. Such instances not only compromise the quality of medical education but adversely affect 𒆙the quality of medical facilities and treatment,” she said in her letter.
“The present system has led to massive corruption,” 💛she added.
Meanwhile, in another letter to Modi, Banerjee has expressed her “strong reservatioꦦn” over the Centre excluding the state government from discussions with Bangladesh regarding Teesta water sharing and the Farakka Treaty.
She has said that the two issues should not be discussed without the Bengal government’ꦰs involvement.
