🚨 BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari launches a blistering attack on Congress and AAP over paper leaks and youth issues! He says that while AAP-ruled Punjab and Congress-backed Jharkhand have faced allegations of paper leaks and rising unemployment, the Modi government has focused on expanding educational opportunities and strengthening safeguards against exam fraud. According to Bhandari, the Centre has increased the Education Budget from ₹79,451 crore (2013–14) to ₹1,39,289.48 crore (2026–27) — a 75.3% rise. He also highlighted: • IIT and NEET seats expanded by 1.5x to 2x. • 2 lakh+ startups created, boosting youth entrepreneurship. • A strict Anti-Paper Leak law with penalties of up to 10 years' imprisonment. "Why Congress and AAP remain silent on 20%+ unemployment and alleged lathi-charge incidents involving students in Punjab, paper leak allegations in Jharkhand, and alleged seat corruption in Karnataka."
