The Narendra Modi-led NDA government is firm that Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is not on the cards, top government sources have told NDTV even as the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, insists that the Minister’s resignation is a must for it to call off protests. The student protesters, camping at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and led by the CJP, have been demanding the 57-year-old Minister’s resignation over the NEET paper leak. The sources say the government feels “resignation is the easiest decision to take”, adding that it “stands with the Minister”. “People have given us the mandate, and we will deliver,” the government source, who did not wish to be named, told NDTV.
