NEET protests force Education Minister Pradhan's resignation to save Parliament bills

Over 48 hours, Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation from India's Education Minister role became imminent due to escalating protests over NEET exams. Despite government actions like setting up fast track courts and sacking officials, protests grew in Delhi and other cities. Prime Minister signaled intent to address youth concerns directly but concluded a bigger political signal was needed, leading to Pradhan’s exit to prevent Parliament session washout and protect contentious bills passage.
