The opposition is poised to corner the government over the NEET paper leak, demands for comprehensive reforms to the examination system, and the resignation of the Union Education Minister. The ongoing student protests at Jantar Mantar and the opposition&#8217;s tough stance within Parliament have further exacerbated the situation. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav&#8217;s closed-door meeting with Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, hints at a major political upheaval during the Monsoon Session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">In this crucial meeting held in the Leader of the Opposition&#8217;s chamber, Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav discussed in detail a common strategy to corner the government. According to sources, the main objective of the meeting was to hold the government accountable on sensitive issues such as the NEET paper leak and the Ram Mandir donation controversy. Both leaders have attempted to ensure that the opposition remains united on government policies during the upcoming session and that these public-facing issues are raised forcefully in the House.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"\" dir=\"auto\">Political analysts believe that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party are keenly aware of the Samajwadi Party&#8217;s growing strength in Uttar Pradesh and its aggressive stance against the government. Since the beginning of the monsoon session, the opposition&#8217;s tough stance has repeatedly disrupted House proceedings, posing a challenge to the government. Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s increasing focus on the Samajwadi Party indicates that the &#8220;India Alliance&#8221; is now emphasizing a solid and common strategy to challenge the government.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The opposition is attempting to prevent the government from slacking off in Parliament on issues such as the Ram Mandir donation embezzlement controversy and rigging in recruitment exams. Leaders of both parties seem to agree that if all coalition partners unite and raise these issues, it will be easier to pressure the government. The opposition&#8217;s clear goal in the monsoon session of Parliament is no longer limited to creating a ruckus, but rather to further strengthen its influence among the public by exposing the government&#8217;s failures. This meeting between Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav is being considered a decisive step for this.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi.\u00a0With the start of the 2026 Monsoon Session of Parliament, political activity has intensified.
