Rahul Gandhi has dismissed calls for a cabinet reshuffle and urged the dismissal of Minister Pradhan as students protest against the government's policies.
Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition, addressed the gathering of protesting students today, stating that a cabinet reshuffle would not address the core issues raised by the demonstrators. He specifically called for the removal of Minister Pradhan, citing the minister’s alleged failure to respond to student concerns.
The students, who have been marching across several campuses, are demanding reforms in education policy and a more transparent decision‑making process. Their protests have drawn attention to the perceived disconnect between the government’s actions and the needs of the youth.
Gandhi’s remarks come at a time when the opposition is intensifying its critique of the ruling party’s handling of education matters. The call for Pradhan’s dismissal could prompt further political pressure on the cabinet, potentially reshaping the government's approach to student grievances.
