Pradhan resigns: Govt took exit call after Wangchuk breakthrough failed to end protests

Street protests and potential violence have forced the BJP to concede after facing youth anger. Activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his hunger strike after assurances from a Union minister. The government chose pragmatism over defiance when confronted by Gen Z’s viral campaigns. Previously, the government withdrew farm laws and diffused protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The party now faces the challenge of winning over a restive generation concerned about employment.
