NEET 2024: During a press briefing on Thursday, Bihar deputy chief minister Vinay Kumar Sinha made the shocking disclosure that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav‘s assistant is connected to the purported paper leaks and irregularities in the NEET-UG controversy.
Preetam Kumar’s Call to Bihar Road Construction Department
In an interview with the media, Sinha stated that Yadav’s assistant Preetam Kumar had called a representative of the Bihar Road Construction Department to make arrangements for a man named Sikandar Prasad Yadavendu to have a room reserved. Yadav had claimed that a “Mantri Ji” was involved in the entrance exam row.
According to Sinha’s confession, Yadavendu stated he suggested that his mother, other conspirators, and his nephew Anurag Yadav—a NEET candidate—stay in a government residence in Patna.
Allegation of Ministerial Reference
“On May 1, Tejashwi Yadav’s personal secretary Preetam Kumar called guesthouse worker Pradip Kumar to book a room for Sikander Kumar Yadavendu… On May 4, Pritam Kumar called Pradip Kumar again for booking the room… The word ‘mantri’ was used for Tejashwi Yadav…,” said Sinha. Sinha insisted that Tejashwi Yadav reveal to the media his identity as Sikander Kumar Yadavendu and whether Preetam Kumar remains his PS.
“Tejashwi Yadav should clarify if Pritam Kumar is still his PS and he should also clarify who is Sikander Kumar Yadavendu. When Lalu Prasad Yadav was jailed in Ranchi, Sikander Kumar Yadavendu used to be at Lalu’s service… He was a JE in the irrigation department… They play with the future of the people. They do scams when they are in power and they try to influence the appointment process…,” continued Sinha further.
