A video shared on X by MrsG, a user known for her critical commentary on political figures, has sparked a significant controversy involving India's education minister, dharmendra Pradhan. The video, which runs for 22.33 seconds, features minister Pradhan standing in front of the Ministry of education backdrop, addressing the media. He states, "In the last 10 years, 58,000 medical sheets have been opened," a remark that immediately draws attention due to the apparent misstatement of "sheets" instead of "seats." This error is highlighted in the video with the text overlay "Pichle 10 saal mei" followed by a laughing emoji, suggesting disbelief or mockery.
Further into the video, Pradhan mentions, "Today there were 51 thousand medical sheet," and later corrects or elaborates, saying, "and today it has increased to 1 lakh 8 thousands." The inconsistency in numbers and the repeated use of "sheet" instead of "seat" have been central to the controversy. The video also includes intermittent cuts to an image of a monkey with its hands on its head, accompanied by the text "108000-151000" and "Yeh hai humare desh ke education minister," further emphasizing the ridicule.
MrsG's tweet, captioned "Ladies and gentlemen, education minister of india," has amplified the video's reach, leading to a barrage of reactions on X. Users have expressed a mix of amusement and concern, with many questioning the competence of the education Minister. The tweet has been retweeted and commented on extensively, with some users pointing out the gravity of such errors coming from a high-ranking official responsible for the nation's education policy.
The incident occurs at a time when the education sector in india is under scrutiny for various reforms and challenges, including the implementation of the National education Policy (NEP) 2020. minister Pradhan's role has been pivotal in these reforms, and any perceived misstep or lack of clarity in communication can have significant repercussions. The video's viral nature has also reignited discussions on the quality of leadership and the importance of accurate information dissemination in public office.
