BJP rejects speculation over Pradhan’s resignation

The BJP on Tuesday dismissed as “baseless and imaginative” media reports claiming that Dharmandra Pradhan had to resign as education minister because the CJP refused to accept the government’s initial proposal to change the minister’s portfolio.

Speaking to reporters in the Parliament House complex, BJP MP and spokesperson Sambit



Patra claimed that the  news was published to sensationalise the issue.

According to reports, during talks with representatives of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which led a protest against the NEET paper leak at Jantar Mantar, the government initially offered to change Pradhan’s portfolio, but the proposal was rejected by the other side.
