Opposition Hails Pradhan's Resignation As Students' Victory

The resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan has triggered a fresh political confrontation, with the Opposition calling it a victory for students and democracy. Rahul Gandhi demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged a change in the government, while Priyanka Gandhi termed it a triumph for India's youth. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said the students' movement had forced the BJP to back down. The BJP, however, defended Pradhan, saying his resignation reflected the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and responsibility.
