Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav while speaking to the media said, "We have just arrived here, and in the meantime, an important piece of news has come in. This is especially encouraging for the younger generation. Wherever this news has reached, people have celebrated with joy. The question is; why did it have to come to this? If this decision was going to be made anyway, it should have been taken earlier after speaking with the students and meeting them. That should have happened before, because students had already lost their lives. The government had admitted that the examination paper had been leaked."

AAP MP Sanjay Singh said, " This is a huge victory for crores of youth in this country. We've been saying during our protests that the world follows the path of youth...The government had to accept the youth's demands. They have some more demands; discussions are ongoing, so I consider this a huge victory. For the first time in 12 years, a government minister has been forced to resign, and this will start a tradition of accountability...This is a huge victory for the youth of this country. Secondly, despite PM Modi's attempts to crush the movement, he failed. As much as he was fighting the youth, the youth were fighting him with many times more intensity. The movement was spreading across the country...Once again I salute the crores of youth of this country."

Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge tweets, "India's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' has finally reached the threshold of the arrogant power. This is the victory of our millions of youth who raised their voices on the streets across the country to fix the education system. This is the victory of truth and the defeat of Mr. Modi's stubbornness. This is the victory of all those families who lost their blood, their children, because this government is corrupt. This is the victory of the united opposition, who raised their voices from Parliament to the streets in the interest of the students. Now it is Mr. Modi's turn to apologize to our young generation and to take strict action against those who unleashed lathis, batons, and pellet guns on them."
