BJP's Blame Game: The Politics of Pradhan's Resignation The resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as Union education minister has sparked a fresh round of politicking in New Delhi, with the BJP leadership scrambling to distance itself from the controversy surrounding the NEET paper leak.
According to Kailash Vijayvargiya, Madhya Pradesh minister and a key BJP leader, Pradhan had offered to step down on the first day of student protests at Jantar Mantar, but was advised by the party president not to submit his resignation.
This claim appears to be an attempt to deflect blame for the crisis that has engulfed the education ministry.
