'Rude wake-up call': Tharoor on Pradhan's resignation over NEET paper leak stir, Prashant Kishor's victory
Tharoor said the growing engagement of Gen Z and Gen Alpha with political issues reflected a changing landscape that parties could not ignore.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has stated that the BJP government received a "rudewake-up call" amid recent political developments, including protests and electoral outcomes. Tharoor emphasized that the increasing involvement of younger generations, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, in political matters signifies a shifting landscape that political parties must acknowledge.
He highlighted the protests, the resignation of a minister, and the passage of a bill as evidence of the BJP's shock. Tharoor also noted the success of Prashant Kishor, who recently won a safe BJP seat in Bihar after the party held it for over three decades. Additionally, he pointed out that Congress retained control of a seat in Madhya Pradesh, Datia.
Tharoor expressed optimism that the upcoming electoral cycle could present opportunities for the Congress, as multiple states will be voting in the coming months.
