Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the report, in a move that comes after weeks of student-led protests over the alleged NEET exam paper leak. The development quickly became a political flashpoint because the protests had centered on accountability in the handling of the exam controversy.
The Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, welcomed the resignation and described it as a victory for student power. Its reaction framed the minister’s exit as the direct result of sustained pressure from students who had been demanding action over the alleged irregularities linked to the medical entrance test.
The NEET issue has remained a sensitive national topic, with anger building over concerns about fairness and trust in the examination process. The protests, which lasted for more than a month, kept attention fixed on the Education Ministry and intensified calls for responsibility at the top.
Pradhan’s resignation now marks a major moment in the political fallout from the NEET row. With student groups and opposition voices likely to keep pressing the issue, the focus is expected to remain on how the government responds to the wider concerns raised by the alleged paper leak.
