Rahul demands Pradhan's removal from Cabinet, rejects reshuffle as solution

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called for the outright dismissal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan from the Union Cabinet, rejecting any ministerial reshuffle as an inadequate response to student protests. Rahul stated that students have three non-negotiable demands, with Pradhan's removal being the foremost among them. He criticised Pradhan as corrupt, incompetent, and misaligned with the needs of students. Reports suggest the Modi government is considering shifting Pradhan to a different ministry as a possible resolution, but Rahul firmly rejected this as unacceptable to students and the broader public.
