'Mantri Pradhan' 'shamelessly digging' his heels in office; whose patronage has ensured his survival: Congress

CBSE Dharmendra Pradhan Narendra Modi Education Ministry Jairam Ramesh Corruption

New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the CBSE OSM row, saying the Mantri Pradhan is "shamelessly digging" his heels in office and asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi is insistent on protecting him despite evidence of his ministry's "incompetence and corruption".

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh alleged that the "Mantri Pradhan" runs a "corrupt, incompetent, and callous" Ministry of Education.

"The CBSE leadership may have been transferred out, but the Mantri Pradhan is shamelessly digging his heels in office even while evidence of his Ministry's incompetence and corruption piles up," Ramesh said on X.
