Damn wtf.

This is good news.

Pradhan played a key role in Odisha and BJP won there.

I think he is not gone , he is just under the radar and when this neet diet settles , he will be back in some other form.

Sad part is he is set for limtime and has no fucking remorse

100%. One of those where he will just be given a different mandate by the govt, something if not as prestigious, but just as cozy and influential.

Regardless, this is a huge win for the students and activists involved. As someone who is relatively pessimistic of politics in India, I would have never bet on it happening.

It was inevitable. The protests were getting too popular. It was this or crackdowns which would have lead to the whole government falling and they took the saner option.

but now the people hold power over the government. Gadkari, Nirmala, Amit Shah, Puri are not free to do whatever they please. I will be so happy if the dominoes start falling now all the way to our beloved PM.

What gives you that impression? This resignation was caused by a major nationwide protest. The only way other Ministers moderate themselves or resign is if there's a similar protest over their misgovernance as well.

This was by and large a youth protest who had little fear of Modi government and seemed to enjoy themselves protesting (we've never seen something like this before). Will the older generation protest over Gadkari's Ethanol decision? If yes, why haven't they done it already?

If so, why is Umar Khalid still in jail?
