Amid the growing clamour for the postponement of the National-Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) scheduled for September 12, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday (September 8) took a dig at former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and said he was a "pseudo expert" with an "overflowing vanity and a misplaced sense of entitlement of a failed crown prince". 

The education minister was responding to Gandhi calling for the postponement of the NEET examination as many other exams are scheduled around September 12. 

For the unversed, the Congress, along with a section of students, is demanding the postponement of the medical entrance exams even as the Supreme Court on Monday refused to defer NEET-UG examination, saying it does not want to interfere with the process and it will be "very unfair" to reschedule it. 

Crtiticising Gandhi for "questioning the wisdom" of the Supreme Court and experts on the NEET schedule, Pradhan said that the "Yuvraj (prince)" should stick to "his expertise of concocting lies than issuing statements on matters he has no understanding of."

"Rahul Gandhi perceives himself to be an expert on everything without having an iota of knowledge. Overflowing vanity & misplaced sense of entitlement of a failed crown prince is no alibi to meddle into the schedule of examinations, give undue stress & make the students suffer," Pradhan said in a strong response. 

"What makes Rahul Gandhi the ‘pseudo expert’ question the collective wisdom of the bench and actual experts? Yuvraj should stick to his expertise of concocting lies, peddling half-truths and being the antagonist to anything progressive, rather than issuing sweeping statements on matters he has no understanding of," Pradhan said.
