Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has tendered his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi amid escalating backlash over the alleged NEET paper leak. The move follows growing political criticism and public anger surrounding the handling of the controversy.
The resignation comes at a time when the NEET issue has become a major flashpoint, with questions being raised about accountability and confidence in the examination process. Pressure had been building steadily as the alleged leak drew national attention and intensified scrutiny of the education ministry.
Protests linked to the NEET row, including demonstrations associated with CJP, added to the demand for action. The controversy appears to have widened beyond an exam-related dispute into a larger political issue, with the minister facing calls to step down.
Pradhan’s exit is likely to sharpen the debate over how the government responds to the NEET paper leak allegations and what steps follow for the ministry. It also marks a significant development in a controversy that has triggered both public outrage and political confrontation.
