Why it matters
The statement highlights a push for generational shift in Indian politics and the growing influence of student-led movements on national policy.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy credited the Central Government conceding to the demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to the sustained struggle of Gen Z students, and asserted that neither the Congress nor any political party would claim ownership of the victory.
