**Akhilesh Yadav Backs Student Protest, Says NEET Irregularities Betrayed Youth**
NEW DELHI, JULY 20: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday backed the CJP Parliament March, saying the government had failed to anticipate the massive turnout of students and youth.
He accused the government of mishandling the NEET examination and alleged that irregularities had involved BJP members. “The government has been playing with the future of students and youth for years,” Yadav said, adding that the growing anger was reflected in the protest.
He said the issue would also be raised in the Lok Sabha.
