NEW DELHI, MAY 26 — Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Monday called for the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, citing extensive discrepancies within the Central Board of Secondary Education evaluation system.
The AAP leader stated that administrative oversight failures have subjected lakhs of graduating students to severe emotional distress and academic instability. Pointing to systemic failures within the digital review platforms, Kejriwal noted that graduating families are experiencing intense anxiety during a critical higher education admission window.
“After the massive scam that has now come to light in CBSE evaluation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should immediately sack Dharmendra Pradhan,” Kejriwal stated. “Dharmendra Pradhan is not fit to remain the Education Minister of this country for even a day or a second.”
According to the statement, families seeking academic reviews have faced repeated portal blackouts, broken payment processors, and unreadable, blurred digital copies of answer sheets. Kejriwal maintained that these failures follow closely behind separate national testing controversies, indicating a broader structural issue within the central education framework.
“First there was large-scale irregularity in NEET, and now a major scam has surfaced in the CBSE evaluation process,” Kejriwal noted. “Lakhs of Class 12 students across the country are under immense stress and depression.”
To resolve the immediate crisis, the opposition party has demanded the complete suspension of the current digital on-screen marking system. Kejriwal asserted that the central government must waive all review fees, implement a traditional manual re-evaluation process for all applicants, and expedite final score corrections so that incoming college applicants do not lose their upcoming institutional placements.
