Pralhad Joshi to take charge as education minister after Dharmendra Pradhan resigns
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has been appointed as the new Education Minister following the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, accepted by the President on the Prime Minister's advice. Pradhan stepped down amid protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over a NEET paper leak. Joshi, who has represented the Dharwad Lok Sabha constituency since 2004, will retain his existing ministerial responsibilities while taking on this new role.
