Azamgarh, July 25 -- Samajwadi Party chief and MP Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday termed Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation a "victory for the youth," saying the government had been forced to bow before the sustained movement by students, while calling for comprehensive reforms to strengthen the country's examination system and create more employment opportunities.

Speaking to reporters on Pradhan's resignation, Yadav said the agitation led by students had demonstrated the power of the younger generation in compelling the government to respond to their demands.

"This is a victory for the youth. It's a victory for the new generation who came forward with their demands. The government had to bow down," Yadav said.
