Udupi, Jul 11: Christon Menezes expressed his anger and disappointment that, despite being a medical professional, the MLA Dr Bharath Shetty has not raised his voice for NEET aspirants and students, through a letter to the MLA.

Christon Menezes in the letter mentioned, “Even though you are a medical professional, you have not spoken or raised a single word on behalf of the lives of millions of students, youth - especially those from the downtrodden, poor families effect through the NEET scam and question paper leaks that took place during your party's rule at the Centre.”

Christon Menezes criticized Bharath Shetty that he being a doctor must know how difficult the NEET exam is. The candidates study day and night for this exam for years, but he did not raise voice against the NEET scam. “Dakshina Kannada district is known as an intelligent district, this district has several medical institutions. Many poor families have spent hard earned money preparing for exams," he stated. 

“Youth and students played a major role in electing Bharat Shetty. Voters have elected him for the development of the constituency and to respond to the people in need. But instead he is giving provocative speech," said Christon.

Christon, stating about Shetty spreading hatred, said, “People did not elect you to spread hate. You should focus on development now, because there are already many people spreading hate from your party. Leave this work to them. Your responsibility is even greater.”

Christon further asked Bharat Shetty to prioritize constructive dialogue and action on student issues, steering away from divisive politics and focusing instead on meaningful development initiatives for the community.
