Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid Student Protests Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Elections
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid sustained student protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party, prompting speculation that the BJP aimed to mitigate electoral risks ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav, criticized the government's handling of the protests and called for accountability, particularly targeting Home Minister Amit Shah over police actions. The resignation met a key protest demand, but political tensions and debates over responsibility continue.
