After the incident, Leader of the Opposition in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav hit out at the BJP government alleging that the future of youth and children in Uttar Pradesh is bleak due to continuous paper leaks. “The future of the youth and children of Uttar Pradesh has become bleak due to the way papers from competitive examinations to Uttar Pradesh Board are continuously being leaked during the rule of BJP government. Now the image of BJP has been completely tarnished not only among the youth but also among the children who will vote for the first time and also among their parents. The BJP is actually against the family system. The anti-family BJP can never know the pain of how family members sacrifice their lives to educate their children and how paper leaks cause mental frustration in children,” wrote Mr. Yadav on X (formerly Twitter).
