Reacting to Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as Union Education Minister, Ranvir Shorey tweeted the Narendra Modi-led government "managed to win none of its enemies, and disenchant...its supporters". When asked whether Pradhan's decision was right, he said, "Yes, but should've done it before...streets were held hostage. Now it seems supporters won't be heard, but 'cockroaches' on streets will!"
