Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is a measure of political responsibility: Jagan

YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had set the benchmark for political accountability under the NDA government by making his resignation a moral responsibility for the NEET paper leak.

Na X said he would now question whether Andhra Pradesh IT & HRD Minister Nara Lokesh would step down by accepting moral responsibility for “gross irregularities” in the conduct of the DSC examination process, which involved around 3.50 lakh candidates.

He wondered if Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu would have otherwise protected his son instead of upholding the very standards of accountability that the NDA claims to believe in.
