Pradhan Resigns Amid NEET Paper Leak Protests

Pradhan Resigns Amid NEET Paper Leak Protests

Dharmendra Pradhan, who was the Union Education Minister, resigned from his post.

Ashok Chavan, a BJP leader, praised Pradhan for his work in education and his connection with student movements.

Chavan said Pradhan handled his responsibilities with dedication and perseverance.

Meanwhile, Ambadas Danve from Shiv Sena (UBT) said Pradhan's resignation is a win for students who protested for 20-25 days against the NEET paper leak controversy.

The protests were so strong that the police had to use force to control them.

Pradhan said his resignation is not about his personal pride but about the events that happened in the last 10 days.
