Raj Thackeray questions need for NEET, demands Pradhans resignation

MUMBAI: (May 14) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray on Thursday questioned the need for NEET-UG and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi seek the resignation of Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan.

Thackeray's demand comes amid massive protests over the cancellation of the examination following allegations of paper leak.

The MNS chief said the government is so obsessed with bringing everything under a centralised authority that it appears to make no difference if the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are thrown into disarray
