The political war over the ongoing student protests has intensified as BJP on Wednesday accused Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of politicising the issue and using students to target the government. BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the Congress is "playing with the future of students" for political gains. The Congress, on the other hand, has maintained that it was only amplifying students' concerns. The opposition parties have continued to press the Centre for accountability over NEET paper leak and police action against protesters.
