The cancellation of the NEET-UG exam has triggered a storm in Odisha, with opposition parties BJD and Congress demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Allegations of paper leaks and irregularities have marred the examination, pressing the government to initiate a CBI inquiry.

Naveen Patnaik, the BJD chief, criticized the compromise of examination integrity, describing it as a betrayal to the large number of students who depend on the sanctity of the process. This uproar points to longstanding issues within the system, with repeated leaks deepening cynicism and threatening students' careers.

Central government inefficiency has been highlighted, with BJD and Congress officials questioning Pradhan's ability to manage the situation. They urge his resignation to uphold students' trust and advocate for an investigation under the Supreme Court's supervision, calling for accountability and integrity restoration.
