Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said his "heart is heavy" following Pradhan's resignation.

"As Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation as the Union Minister of Education today, my heart is heavy. Public life often demands difficult decisions, but the contributions he has made towards nation-building will endure for generations. Through the National Education Policy 2020, he laid the foundation for an Education System that nurtures strong foundational literacy, promotes multidisciplinary learning and equips our Youth with advanced skills to compete confidently on the global stage. His vision was not merely to educate but to empower every young Indian to become a global citizen rooted in Bharat's values," Adhikari said on X.

Pradhan stepped down following student protests over the NEET paper leak.

Announcing his resignation earlier today, Pradhan said he had submitted it to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the interest of students and to ensure that the ongoing protests over examination irregularities were not exploited by "anti-national forces."
