Daughter of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politician, Yashaswinee Raje Singh, called the appointment of Union Minister Pralhad Joshi as the new Union education minister following Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation a “bleak joke."
“The person who's been appointed as education minister now... honestly, it feels like a very, very bleak joke,” she said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
She explained why she supported student-led protests over NEET paper leak issue. She credited the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) with doing a “great job of galvanising this sort of largely apolitical audience.”
“CJP did a very, very great job of galvanising this sort of largely apolitical audience that usually steers clear of such conversations through their innovative messaging, through memes, and their focus was Instagram, which was great because that's where we saw so much of the ordinary people's coverage of the protests," said Yashaswinee Raje Singh, the daughter of Uttar Pradesh's two-time MLA Vikram Singh.
Vikram Singh is a former MLA from Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur Sadar. He lost the 2022 UP Elections.
In the interview, Yashaswinee criticised the "language" used by Pradhan in his resignation letter. “It's really, really shortsighted to be viewing the resignation as sort of this watershed moment,” she said
"The language of the resignation letter itself is more of a martyr's than of someone who's remorseful, apologetic and holding themselves to account,” she said.
