The Rajasthan Congress has welcomed Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, presenting it as a victory for students in the backdrop of repeated paper leak controversies. The party linked the development to growing public anger over exam integrity and said it showed that pressure from affected students could not be ignored.
State Congress leaders argued that frustration had been building among candidates and their families as paper leak allegations continued to dominate the education and recruitment debate. By calling it a win over “dictatorship,” the party tried to frame the moment as accountability being forced by student voices rather than granted voluntarily.
Former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and state Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra also pushed for broader changes at the National Testing Agency. Their stand was that the issue goes beyond one resignation and requires structural reform so that confidence in national exams can be restored.
The party further demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to students affected by the exam leak turmoil. With that response, the Rajasthan Congress has turned the issue into a larger political attack on the Centre, focusing on NTA reform, exam security and accountability to young aspirants.
