Business To Business, Bhubaneshwar, 22nd July, 2026: Odisha Congress president Bhakta Charan Das on Tuesday led a protest outside Lok Bhavan in Bhubaneswar against the police action on demonstrators in Delhi and demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in public examinations.
The protest came hours after Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and several other opposition leaders staged a dharna outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence, seeking Pradhan's resignation over the police action against students protesting the alleged NEET paper leak.
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule later joined the protest. The opposition leaders were subsequently removed from the site and detained by the police.
