Praising students standing up against exam paper leaks nationwide, Uddhav Thackeray called this protest a precursor to a broader struggle against the BJP. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader asserted that while votes can be compromised, people’s convictions cannot be. He lambasted Union ministers for their focus on political maneuvering rather than governance, urging young individuals to keep the pressure on and reject complacency in leadership.
