The Pradhan impasse: Why Centre is not ready to blink as CJP deadline looms
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) issued a 24-hour ultimatum for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, threatening to resume protests if their demand is unmet. Despite the pressure, government officials, including Union Ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh, indicated that the administration is unlikely to concede, fearing it would set a precedent for further demands. This impasse follows a recent overhaul of the National Testing Agency after a NEET exam paper leak, which sparked the CJP's protest movement.
