BJP Turns to JP Nadda Amid CJP Protests
The BJP government in India has faced large protests recently, with thousands of young people demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The government has sent JP Nadda, the Health Minister, to talk to the protesters and find a solution.
Nadda visited hospitals to see the injured protesters and police personnel.
He also accused the Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, of being selective in his accusations.
The government chose Nadda for this role because he is seen as a good communicator and has experience in student politics.
Using more senior ministers like Rajnath Singh or Amit Shah could have made the situation seem more serious than it is.
The protesters, however, see Nadda's involvement as a government tactic and continue to demand Pradhan's resignation.
