New Delhi, July 29: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya targeted the opposition during a debate on the ‘Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) (Amendment) Bill, 2026’ on Tuesday. He used the term ‘Gen Z’ to express that believing young people support opposition parties is a significant misunderstanding.
Earlier in the day, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj echoed similar sentiments regarding the amendment bill, stating, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made this possible by providing a legal solution.”
In the Lok Sabha, Surya criticized Congress, noting that no one has been punished in paper leak cases because the UPA government did not pass any such bill in 2010.
He stated, “Students need solutions, not slogans, and this bill provides that. It has been 30 years in the making, but for the first time in the country’s history, such a law is being passed.”
Responding to Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s query about the lack of punishment, Surya explained that no specific law existed to address these issues until now.
Using ‘Gen Z’ language, he remarked, “Fixing the examination system is about correcting the ‘source code,’ which means bringing a complete overhaul to our education system.”
Additionally, he criticized Priyanka Gandhi for her remarks on the education system, asserting, “You have not implemented the National Education Policy (NEP) for the past 34 years. This outdated system has not fostered any fundamental thinking.”
Surya emphasized, “Rote learning has become the foundation of India’s education system, but the National Education Policy 2020 is set to transform this framework.”
He also highlighted that the NDA government is changing the education system, which has been pending for 34 years.
Furthermore, Surya questioned the absence of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during student protests, accusing him of seeking attention by staging a sit-in near the Prime Minister’s residence.
He criticized the previous Congress government in Rajasthan, referencing the alleged REET paper leak, and stressed that all examinations, whether national or state-level, are equally important. Targeting SP MP Akhilesh Yadav, Surya mentioned the anti-cheating law implemented by the BJP government under Kalyan Singh in 1991-1992.
He stated, “The Samajwadi Party opposed this law and removed it after coming to power in Uttar Pradesh, institutionalizing the malpractice.”
Moreover, in a ‘Gen Z’ style, Surya remarked, “The opposition’s belief that youth are with them is a significant misunderstanding.”
