Priyanka Gandhi's Response to Minister's Resignation
On Saturday, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her approval of the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, labeling it a triumph for the nation's youth.

Speaking to reporters in Wayanad, Priyanka emphasized that the Congress party has stood firmly with students protesting against irregularities in examinations and has initiated a nationwide movement for educational reforms.
Support for Student Movements
Priyanka stated that the Congress party has made every effort to support the cause robustly. Rahul Gandhi has been vocal about the issues of paper leaks and examination reforms for over two to three years. She noted that his campaign has inspired Congress, NSUI, and Youth Congress to rally support for students across the country.
Emotional Reaction to the Resignation
She mentioned that Rahul Gandhi has motivated not only the party members but also NSUI and Youth Congress to advocate for students' rights and to initiate a nationwide movement for improvements in the education system. Priyanka described the resignation as merely the beginning and admitted that she felt emotional upon hearing the news. "I am genuinely very happy. Hearing this news made me a bit emotional because for the past 10-12 years, I have often asked myself: When will our youth awaken?"
Criticism of BJP and RSS
The Congress leader accused the BJP and RSS of undermining the education system and suppressing dissent. She claimed that the RSS is infiltrating the entire educational framework, weakening the ideologies of our ancestors. She asserted that force is being used against youth and anyone who raises their voice in protest. Priyanka concluded that the resignation reflects the strength of the nationwide student movement.
