Samajwadi Party leader Ravidas Mehrotra urged Indian youth to protest against unemployment, inflation, and poverty, drawing parallels to recent uprisings in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Mehrotra stated that indifference from those in power necessitates a mass movement to remove the current government. His remarks echo similar sentiments expressed by Jannayak Janta Party's Ajay Chautala, who also referenced youth-led protests in neighboring countries as a model for change in India.
