On March 4, India's Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned following widespread protests by students over alleged leaks in the NEET examination. The event marked a significant shift; the minister known for his efforts to combat paper leaks faced similar challenges he once fought against. Neighbourhood police had initially been ordered to disperse the protests, only for youth leaders later to take charge and demand Pradhan's resignation. In response to increasing pressure, Pralhad Joshi took over as Union Education Minister. Meanwhile, supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) celebrated on sites like Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), marking their first major win in a series of youth-led protests across the nation. The CJP, led by Abhijeet Dipke, promised to continue protests until demands for compensation and accountability are fulfilled, highlighting the ongoing student activism against what they see as systemic failures in examination integrity.
