'Didn't want headlines, wanted solutions': Raghav Chadha on why he didn't speak on NEET paper leak issue

Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha addressed his previous silence on the NEET paper leak issue, explaining his shift in approach from opposition questioning to government problem-solving. He stated that while in opposition, his role was to raise issues, but now on the treasury benches, his responsibility is to find solutions.

“

when I used to sit in the opposition, then the question was my weapon; today I sit on the treasury benches, today the solution is my responsibility

Chadha made these remarks during the discussion on the Public Examinations (Amendment) Bill, 2026, in the Rajya Sabha. He explained that he deliberately waited to speak on the NEET issue until a concrete solution was being implemented. "I did not want a headline, rather I wanted an outcome," he said, highlighting his commitment to fixing the system rather than just seeking attention.

He voiced his support for students, asserting that the government has heard their concerns and delivered on their demands. "When it came to our students and the youth of India, the government heard, the government actioned, and the government delivered," Chadha stated. He expressed conviction that the proposed bill will strengthen the examination system, making it more secure and fair, respecting merit, and ensuring that those involved in malpractice face consequences.
