WE WON’T STOP, MR. RAHUL GANDHI. Lie No. 7: “The Vyapam scam, which was admitted by the then BJP government, did not see any convictions or action.” Verdict: FALSE ❌ Reality: The claim that there was no action or conviction is simply not supported by the record. The BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government under Shivraj Singh Chouhan took cognisance of the Vyapam allegations and initiated a major crackdown against those involved in examination and recruitment irregularities. Statewide Raids & Arrests: Following major arrests by the Indore Police in July 2013, the state government launched a broader crackdown targeting impersonators, middlemen, officials and examination racketeers. Creation of Special Task Force (STF): In August 2013, the Madhya Pradesh government handed the investigation over to a specialised STF to investigate the allegations and identify those involved. High-Profile Arrests: The STF arrested thousands of people in connection with the case, including officials, impersonators, middlemen and alleged kingpins. Former Madhya Pradesh Higher Education Minister Laxmikant Sharma was also arrested in connection with the investigation. Request for CBI Probe: On July 7, 2015, then Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sought the transfer of the Vyapam cases and related deaths to the CBI. The Supreme Court subsequently transferred the investigation to the CBI. Cancellation of Admissions & Ranks: Candidates found to have obtained medical admissions through fraudulent means or impersonation faced cancellation of their admissions, ranks and degrees. Several appointments obtained through irregular recruitment examinations were also cancelled. Termination of Jobs: Government appointments obtained through fraudulent recruitment examinations were annulled, and candidates accused in these cases faced criminal proceedings. Convictions: The CBI subsequently prosecuted numerous accused in Vyapam-related cases, with 100+ convictions secured in cases before designated courts. Sentences: Convicted individuals received prison sentences and financial penalties depending on their roles in the respective cases. So the claim that the Vyapam scam saw “no action” and “no convictions” is FALSE. ❌

RAHUL GANDHI CLAIMS: “22 lakh students take the NEET exam. From their families, ₹1.32 lakh crore is taken every year. The amount these 22 lakh people pay in one year for one exam equals the Government of India’s entire education budget.” ❌ FALSE. THE FACTS: The ₹1.32 lakh crore figure is not the amount NEET aspirants or their families pay every year. It is an estimated size of the entire Indian coaching industry projected for 2028. Rahul Gandhi presents this industry-wide projection as if it were the annual amount paid by 22 lakh NEET aspirants. That comparison is misleading. And the comparison with the Government of India’s education budget is also incomplete. Public spending on education includes both the Centre and the States, making total public education expenditure several times larger than the central Ministry of Education budget alone. Meanwhile, India is expanding access to learning and medical education: • SWAYAM had developed 4,400+ unique courses by January 2026, with 1.72 crore unique learners, 5.80 crore cumulative enrolments and 52.88 lakh certifications. • To support competitive-exam aspirants, PM Modi announced free nationwide online coaching on Independence Day 2026. And look at medical education: 🏥 Medical colleges: 387 → 846 (+118.6%) 🩺 MBBS seats: 51,348 → 1,39,864 (+172.4%) 🎓 PG medical seats: 31,185 → 86,360 (+176.9%) Rahul Gandhi sells a story of scarcity while ignoring the massive expansion in India’s medical-education infrastructure. The numbers tell a very different story.
