Naveen Patnaik Demands Pradhan's Resignation Over Exam Irregularities

Naveen Patnaik, a former Chief Minister of Odisha, has asked for the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to step down because of problems in competitive exams.

This is unusual for Naveen, who is known for being careful and quiet.

Some people think he is trying to make his party, the BJD, more important in national politics again.

Others think it's a risky move.

The BJD lost the recent elections in Odisha and has no seats in the Lok Sabha, which is the main part of India's government.

Naveen's move might help him connect with young voters and other opposition parties.

But it's not clear if this will really change anything in the government.
