NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR:Dharmendra Pradhan resigned because the Modi government needed to set an example by taking strong action against the question paper leak. Remember, he had been a minister continuously since 2014.
Yes, it also includes ensuring that no political party, including Congress and AAP, takes credit for this resignation. The cockroaches will portray it as a victory, and the cockroaches don’t have a registered political party. These cockroaches won’t come seeking votes. Ultimately, the BJP bowed, but only to a force with no political background.
Two blockbuster reels of Prime Minister Narendra Modi were released before his resignation, meaning the entire action was credited to the PM. He directly communicated with Gen Z. In the eyes of this generation, he has established himself as a “cool” parent. Dharmendra Pradhan may now be assigned to the organization, as his return to government appears highly unlikely.
Breaking Sonam Wangchuk’s fast, PM Modi’s reels and Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation – all three steps will ultimately work in the government’s favour.
Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation marks a major turning point in the last 12 years. This government hasn’t seen any major resignations at the behest of the opposition (MJ Akbar being an exception). Those demanded by the opposition have typically been removed during reshuffles or given portfolio changes. Demands for Pradhan’s removal have been growing for a week, yet the government and party have been defending him. With no other solution in sight, Pradhan had to step down.
