Dharmendra Pradhan gets warm welcome in Odisha following resignation
Former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan returned to his home state of Odisha on Tuesday, just days after stepping down from his post. A large, enthusiastic crowd gathered at the Bhubaneswar Airport to greet him with cheers. Previously, when Pradhan reached Parliament following his resignation, NDA MPs chanted slogans in his support, which drew criticism from the Opposition.
