Anurag Dhanda: Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Saturday announced that government bus services across the state will be free for all those taking the NEET-UG 2026 re-exam. Talking to X, Choudhary urged the monasteries and temples of the state, and non-governmental organisations to help in the arrangement of clean drinking water, sattu, and other essentials for examinees and their parents at bus stands, railway stations, and other major locations.
How Punjab And Arvind Kejriwal Started The Movement That Bihar Is Now Following
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann had on May 20 announced free travel in Punjab Roadways buses for students appearing in the NEET examination from June 20 to 22, following an appeal by AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal. The decision was taken after several aspirants informed Kejriwal that poor families were struggling to arrange travel expenses to examination centres. Students only need to show their admit card — no ticket is required on all Punjab Roadways buses on those three days.

AAP leader Anurag Dhanda welcomed Arvind Kejriwal’s initiative, noting that Kejriwal had raised the demand for fare waiver for NEET re-exam students, and the Punjab government swiftly acted on it. Dhanda has consistently highlighted that Kejriwal started a new trend in politics by focusing on convenience, free electricity, a good education system and hospitals — and that wherever AAP contests elections, the focus shifts to basic public welfare.
The NEET-UG 2026 controversy led to the cancellation of the examination held on May 3 across 551 cities in India and 14 international centres, with over 22 lakh candidates appearing.
