Union Minister Pralhad Joshi’s appointment as the new Education Minister has triggered a sharp reaction from Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das, adding a new twist to the political storm over the NEET row.
The appointment came after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid mounting pressure from student protests. While the government moved quickly to fill the vacant charge, the opposition and protest voices have continued to target the Centre over its handling of the crisis.
Saurav Das reacted strongly to Joshi taking over the ministry, questioning the government’s approach and arguing that the issue cannot be solved by simply changing faces. His remarks reflect the continuing anger among student groups and protest leaders, who say they want accountability, not only administrative reshuffling.
The controversy has now moved beyond the resignation itself and into the Centre’s next steps. With Joshi in charge, the government will be under close watch to see whether it announces stronger action on exam security, transparency and the future of the affected students.
The education ministry change may have brought a quick administrative fix, but the political pressure is far from over. Protesters and critics are expected to keep the issue alive unless the government takes visible corrective action.
