Students are more important than any post, says Amit Shah after Dharmendra Pradhan’s exit

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the country, youth and students are far more important than any position for BJP workers and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan exemplifies this principle.

His remarks came after Mr. Pradhan resigned on Saturday (July 25, 2026) amid mounting pressure due to the protests over the NEET paper leak controversy.

"The Modi government respects the sentiments of the country's youth and is committed to implementing the necessary reforms against paper leaks," he said in a post on X late Saturday (July 25, 2026) night.
