Opposition Demands Resignation of Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains Following Centre's Lead

Political tensions have flared up in Punjab as opposition parties leverage the recent resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to demand accountability from the state government.

Key Highlights:
- Opposition Demands: Both the Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) have cornered the AAP government, citing six major paper leaks over the past four years and demanding that Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains step down.
- Congress Stance: Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring asserted that if accountability can be established at the national level, it must apply equally to the state, criticizing the government's handling of protesting students.
- Political Stakes: With Punjab assembly elections approaching next year, the opposition is aggressively targeting the Bhagwant Mann administration over educational governance and transparency.
