Overview

  • The INDIA bloc publicly demanded Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, saying he presided over mismanagement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test and Central Board of Secondary Education evaluations.
  • The bloc linked the May 3 NEET cancellation and CBSE on‑screen marking problems to a larger pattern of failures that, they argue, undermine public trust in state institutions.
  • Leaders decided to write to the Chief Justice of India to raise concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls, which they say has led to large deletions and possible mass disenfranchisement.
  • The NTA has scheduled a NEET undergraduate retest for June 21, and the education minister publicly acknowledged discrepancies in CBSE’s on‑screen marking process on May 28.
  • Meeting leadership every two months and calling for an all‑party session on the economy, the bloc aims to combine judicial appeals, parliamentary coordination and public pressure to make exams, voter lists and economic issues a national debate.
