Opposition Leaders Back Wangchuk in NEET Scandal Protest

Arvind Kejriwal of the AAP seized the platform to demand the immediate resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. In a bold political pivot, the Delhi Chief Minister suggested Wangchuk as a more qualified successor, warning the NDA leadership that dismissing the grievances of the nation's youth invites the same electoral collapse that unseated the UPA II government. Dimple Yadav of the Samajwadi Party underscored the call, urging the administration to move past silence and engage in meaningful dialogue with the activist.

The protest at the historic Jantar Mantar site transcended party lines, drawing in representatives from the Congress, Shiv Sena, and veteran farmer leader Rakesh Tikait. While these figures collectively accused the government of institutional indifference, the Delhi High Court has intervened to mandate daily medical monitoring of Wangchuk’s health. The event signals a deepening rift between the government and a coalition of activists and opposition parties over the integrity of national testing infrastructure.
