Dharmendra Pradhan's Non-Resignation Amid Exam Controversies Sparks Debate
Indian politics has a history of ministers resigning amid serious allegations, a practice seen in leaders across parties like Lal Bahadur Shastri and A Raja. However, this convention appears to have faded, as seen in the case of Dharmendra Pradhan, who has not resigned despite controversies including NEET and UGC-NET exam paper leaks. The BJP has defended this stance, citing a 2015 policy against resignations amid allegations, contrasting with its past demands for resignations when in opposition. Protests from opposition parties, students, and parents continue over these issues.
