The Haryana Congress held a 'Victory March' in Bhiwani on Sunday to celebrate the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Party leaders described the march as a triumph for students and youth who protested against the NEET exam paper leak.
Congress Leaders Lead Victory March in Bhiwani
Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Rao Narendra Singh led the march through the streets of Bhiwani. Speaking at the event, Singh said that Pradhan's resignation marks a significant victory for students, youth, and the democratic struggle.
According to the original story, Singh stated that this victory belongs to millions of students who peacefully and democratically fought for their rights and for a fair and transparent education system.
Rahul Gandhi's Role Highlighted in Protests
The Congress president also noted that Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi consistently raised the concerns of students both in Parliament and outside. The party framed the resignation as a direct result of sustained pressure from student protests and political opposition.
Our Take: A Political Statement, Not Just a Celebration
This victory march is clearly a political move by the Congress party to claim credit for Pradhan's resignation. While the NEET paper leak angered many students across the country, the march in Bhiwani shows how the Congress is using this issue to rally its base. In our view, the party is trying to position itself as the voice of students and youth ahead of upcoming elections. Whether this translates into real political gains remains to be seen, but the message is clear — the Congress wants voters to remember who stood with the students.
