# Supriya Sule sees different atmosphere after student protests 2026-08-08T14:50:59+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule said she senses a 'change in atmosphere' in India following the successful student protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Speaking at the NCP state headquarters in Mumbai on Saturday, Sule called the protests a wake-up call that could lead to a 'chale jao' (quit) call against the ruling BJP-led NDA. She said the new generation speaks freely without fearing the Income Tax department, CBI or Enforcement Directorate, as they do not depend on government jobs. Sule also welcomed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's praise for Gen Z, adding that she hopes the BJP listens to him. On party loyalty, she asserted that Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar are the rightful leaders of the Shiv Sena and NCP respectively, as per their constitutions. She said the Congress leadership had clarified within an hour that a social media post calling her 'gungi-gudiya' (dumb doll) was not the party's official stand.
