Nobody has a monopoly over Gen Z or Generation Z, said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan while taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In a conversation with NDTV's Manogya Loiwal, Mr Pradhan responded to Rahul Gandhi's claim that Gen Z is not with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and will protect the constitution.
However, the recently concluded Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections, in which the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the BJP, emerged victorious, have painted a different picture - one in favour of the government.
Referring to that, Mr Pradhan said, "Results show the trend. Nobody has a monopoly on Gen Z. Gen Z is for Bharat, and PM Modi is representing Bharat."
People born between 1997 and 2012 qualify as Gen Z.
