BJP destroying institutions, paper leak destroyed students' hopes: Rahul

Accusing the BJP of destroying institutions, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the CBSE paper leak had destroyed hopes and futures of millions of students.

In a series of tweets, Gandhi also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue, saying he is a "weak watchman" as there were leaks in everything.

"The exam leaks destroy the hopes and futures of millions of students. The Congress always protected our institutions. This is what happens when institutions are destroyed by the RSS/BJP. Believe me when I say, this is only the beginning.

"How many leaks? Data leak! Aadhaar leak! SSC exam leak! Election date leak! CBSE papers leak! There is leak in everything. The watchman (Narendra Modi) is weak," he said.

The CBSE on Wednesday said it will re-conduct examination in the maths and economics papers for Class 10 and Class 12 respectively following the leak of question papers.

Gandhi also referred to the leak of SSC papers. A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe is underway into the alleged paper leak of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) in the Combined Graduate-Level (Tier-II) exam held on February 21.

The Congress leader also took a jibe at the government over the Karnataka Assembly polling date leak, referring to the announcement by BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya's tweet minutes before the Election Commission announced it.
