Why Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had to go | Onmanorama Explains
- July 25 , 2026
This video argues why education minister Dharmendra Pradhan had to be shown the door. The 2024 NEET question paper leak should have been enough for the Education Ministry to order the National Testing Agency to tidy up its act. By now it is evident that Pradhan had allowed things to drift. In fact, he was in denial of the 2024 leaks before the CBI identified 155 beneficiaries. And a week after he called the NTA "very credible", Pradhan was forced to cancel the UGC-NET exam. Reason: Leaked question papers found their way to the Darknet. Even if it is complacency or the NTA's wilful subversion of the exam process, Pradhan should be made accountable. He saw the cracks in the NTA system and simply let it fall on unsuspecting students.
