#DharmendraPradhanResigns | The debate turns to whether apolitical movements and civil society groups will now influence the direction of politics in India after Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
Analyst Tehseen Poonawalla said a vacuum has been created and occupied by civil society, adding that the BJP has realised it “can’t talk down to people.” Journalist Tushar Gupta called it a “token victory” for the CJP, but said the concerns of youngsters still remain and warned that social media movements should not dictate the mandate.
The discussion highlights rising tensions between civil society-led protests and traditional political parties, as the BJP faces scrutiny, the Opposition struggles to assert itself and questions grow over the health of democracy.
