After the conclusion of the student protest at Jantar Mantar, the Congress and Samajwadi Party are preparing to use the issue as a major political narrative in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The joint presence of Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav during the protests has strengthened opposition coordination and brought both leaders closer on youth-related issues. The opposition believes the student movement has created an opportunity to connect with young voters in Uttar Pradesh, where employment, education, and examination reforms are expected to remain key election issues. Akhilesh Yadav has increased his focus on youth concerns and is attempting to project the Samajwadi Party as a platform supporting students and unemployed youth. Congress, which has been struggling to regain ground in the state, sees the movement as a chance to rebuild its political relevance. Both parties have highlighted the protest as a victory for students and democratic expression. With UP elections expected in 2026, Congress and SP are likely to build their campaign around youth issues while strengthening their alliance strategy to challenge the BJP.
