Prashant Kishor Criticizes Tej Pratap's Arrest, Hails Pradhan's Resignation
Prashant Kishor, the founder of Jan Suraaj, has criticized the arrest of Tej Pratap, saying it shows the government is scared of people opposing them.
He also said that the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, the former Education Minister, is just the start of more accountability.
Kishor supports protests against the government's actions and believes that people's power can make those in charge listen.
He also mentioned that women called Jeevika Didis were told to work for election awareness, and if nothing is done about it, his party will protest outside the Election Commission's office.
Prashant Kishor questions Tej Pratap's arrest, alleging it reflects government fear of public opposition.
Kishor claims Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation is the result of sustained public pressure.
Protests are driven by young people frustrated over examination paper leaks, unemployment, and the education system.
Kishor supports anyone challenging the government's undemocratic behavior.
Jan Suraaj leaders and workers threaten to protest outside the Election Commission's office if no action is taken on the Jeevika Didis issue.
