'I am a street fighter': Combative Dharmendra Pradhan arrives in Parliament to a rousing welcome
Former education minister Dharmendra Pradhan described himself as a 'street fighter' after resigning due to protests over paper leaks.
Pradhan arrived in Parliament as an MP to a rousing welcome from NDA MPs who raised slogans and offered traditional honours like a Mithila Paag and angavastram.
The public display of support aimed to convey that Pradhan's resignation was not a reflection on his work, as no personal allegations were made against him.
Pradhan's combative response to Congress MP Jairam Ramesh's 'It happens' remark indicated readiness to address personal attacks in discussions on the NEET paper leak issue.
