BJP forced Pradhan to resign as Gen Z targeted Modi’s resignation: Revanth - The HinduPublished - July 26, 2026 08:20 pm IST - HYDERABADChief Minister A. Revanth Reddy claimed that the BJP had compelled Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign after growing demands from Gen Z for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resignation, asserting that the Centre was attempting to contain mounting public anger.Speaking during an informal interaction with reporters in Hyderabad on Sunday, Mr. Reddy alleged that the Prime Minister realised that the mood among the younger generation was changing rapidly and that his own position had come under pressure. “To dilute the situation, the BJP forced Dharmendra Pradhan to resign and not out of moral responsibility,” he alleged.Describing the political developments in New Delhi on Saturday as a setback to Mr. Modi’s image, the Chief Minister said this marked the second occasion on which the Prime Minister had been forced to retreat under public pressure. He recalled that Mr. Modi had earlier withdrawn the three contentious farm laws following sustained protests by farmers.Mr. Reddy contended that the Prime Minister had failed to learn from the farmers’ agitation and was now facing resistance from the country’s younger generation. Gen Z has shown that it will not be cowed down by the BJP’s regular tactics of ‘NICE’ (Narcotics, Income Tax, CBI and ED), which, according to him, had been used by the Centre to target political opponents over the years, he said.The Chief Minister alleged that Mr. Modi was now ‘shaken’ by the public response and urged him to abandon what he described as the use of Central investigative agencies as instruments of political intimidation.Published - July 26, 2026 08:20 pm ISTSign in to unlock member-only benefits!Access 10 free stories every monthSave stories to read laterAccess to comment on every storySign-up/manage your newsletter subscriptions with a single clickGet notified by email for early access to discounts & offers on our products${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
