Mamata Banerjee defers Delhi visit after NEET scandal

Mamata Banerjee defers Delhi visit after NEET scandal

Mamata Banerjee, the leader of Trinamul Congress, was planning to visit New Delhi to join a protest at Jantar Mantar.

The protest was about the NEET question paper leak scandal and was led by the Cockroach Janata Party.

The union education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, resigned on Saturday because of this scandal.

After his resignation, Mamata Banerjee decided to postpone her visit.

She had been in touch with the protest leaders and congratulated them on their success.

Some people from her party think that her announcement to join the protest might have influenced Pradhan's decision to resign.
