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.

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.
