'Fictional, unfounded': BJP dismisses report of portfolio change offer to Dharmendra Pradhan
BJP MP Sambit Patra dismissed reports of a portfolio change offer to Dharmendra Pradhan as 'fictional' and 'unfounded'.
Patra said the reports were published solely to sensationalize the issue and had no basis.
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union education minister after protests over the NEET paper leak.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) called off its protest after talks with Union ministers Jagat Prakash Nadda and Jitendra Singh.
Patra clarified that no proposal to change Pradhan's portfolio was discussed during negotiations with the CJP.
