Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday lauded Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation from the Cabinet and his tenure and principled stance, describing his decision to step down as a testament to his dedication to public ethics and national interest.
In a post on X, Gupta commended Pradhan's contributions to India's educational landscape, particularly highlighting his role in rolling out key policy frameworks and promoting Indian languages in academia. "Honorable Shri @dpradhanbjp Ji has fulfilled every responsibility in his public life with dedication, honesty, and complete devotion. As the Union Education Minister, he made a significant contribution to the effective implementation of the National Education Policy-2020. He advanced numerous meaningful reforms in the education system. Education in Indian languages received a boost, technical and higher education expanded, and new opportunities became available for students." https://x.com/gupta_rekha/status/2080971933559198111 Addressing the minister's decision to step down, Chief Minister Gupta emphasised that prioritizing national interest over position exemplifies high moral standards in governance. "Prioritizing the national interest above all, he has submitted his resignation from his position. This decision reflects his unwavering commitment to ethical values, dignity, and principles in public life. May his continuous efforts in the service of the nation continually reach new heights. Heartfelt best wishes for his bright future." Gupta wished Pradhan success in his future endeavours and said, "May his continuous efforts in the service of the nation continually reach new heights. Heartfelt best wishes for his bright future." Pradhan's resignation came after a month-long agitation at Jantar Mantar led by Cockroach Janata Party and activist Sonam Wangchuk, who sat for a 26-day-long hunger strike as the NEET-UG exam was leaked in May. The re-examination was held on June 21. The momentum peaked on July 20 with CJP's 'Chalo Sansad' march, which was met with police action. Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke, in his first reaction, said, "We have done it. Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned." "Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. And this resignation is proof that if you people are not afraid, if you people do not bow down to this government, then we can take the resignation of anyone," he added. (ANI)
