Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid Student Protests and Political Repercussions
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid widespread student protests over NEET-UG paper leaks and education policy issues. The BJP faced criticism for its handling of the agitation and police response, with opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav highlighting accountability concerns. While some view Pradhan's exit as a political sacrifice ahead of Uttar Pradesh elections, others emphasize his long-standing party role and the broader implications for BJP's governance. Social media reactions targeted other ministers, reflecting ongoing public dissatisfaction.
