Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid Student Protests; Pralhad Joshi Appointed Education Minister
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as India's Union Education Minister following widespread student protests over a NEET exam paper leak. The protests, led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and supported by thousands of students and opposition parties, called for accountability and reforms. Yashaswinee Raje Singh, daughter of a BJP leader, criticized Pradhan's resignation letter and described the appointment of Pralhad Joshi as education minister as a "bleak joke." The government accepted remaining protest demands amid calls for greater transparency.
