Pradhan second Modi minister to quit over row

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid the NEET-UG controversy, becoming only the second Modi government minister to quit over a public row since 2014. The first was MJ Akbar, who stepped down in 2018 over #MeToo allegations. Pradhan's exit aims to defuse student protests and unblock parliamentary business, reflecting the rarity of such resignations under the current administration.
