The visit came a day after Dipke and several protesters secured a major breakthrough in their NEET paper leak agitation at Jantar Mantar, after the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on Saturday.
Pradhan, who held the Education portfolio, submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday. Within hours of his resignation, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pralhad Joshi was given the additional charge of the Education Ministry. Joshi continues to hold his existing portfolios as Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, and New and Renewable Energy.

Referring to Dipke's victory at Jantar Mantar, Shirsat said he deliberately chose not to visit during the protest or amid the political developments, as it could have been misinterpreted. He further said Dipke's parents dont know how far their son has earned recognition and name across the country.
"The conversation I had with them is such that even today they don't believe their son's name has become so famous or that he has reached such heights. The Central government also supported him. They accepted all his demands," he added.
