Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns

The NEET paper leak controversy has sparked nationwide outrage, with opposition parties and student groups demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. During the parliamentary session, the Congress party staged intense protests in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Simultaneously, the 'Cockroach Janata Party' launched an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, intensifying the pressure on the central government. While the government initiated talks with the protesting group, the party made it clear that they would participate in discussions and call off their protests only after the minister's resignation.

Amidst escalating protests that have been ongoing for the past 26 days, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's call for a conciliatory approach, and the Cockroach Janata Party's threat of another nationwide agitation, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan finally resigned. This decision came as a major setback for the Modi government, given the widespread youth led demonstrations and growing political opposition. The resignation is seen as a direct response to the mounting pressure from various quarters, marking a significant development in the ongoing NEET paper leak controversy.
