CP McDonald's breaks into cheers as news of Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation spreads
A viral video showed people at the Connaught Place McDonald's cheering as news of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation spread.
As word of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation spread across Delhi on Saturday, celebrations weren't confined to the streets outside Jantar Mantar.
Inside a McDonald's outlet in Connaught Place, customers burst into applause, cheers and chants of ‘Inquilab Zindabad’, a moment that has since gone viral on social media.
Shared widely on X and Instagram, the video captures diners inside the Connaught Place outlet breaking into loud cheers as the news spread.
Several people can be heard raising slogans of ‘Inquilab Zindabad’, while others clap, whistle and record the moment on their phones.

The celebration comes at the end of days of sustained student protests that began over the NEET paper leak issue and soon grew into a nationwide movement. What started with demonstrations in Delhi's Jantar Mantar quickly spread to several cities, with students, parents and supporters gathering at protest sites and amplifying the movement on social media.
Alongside the demonstrations, countless videos, speeches and personal accounts from the ground fuelled conversations online.
As public pressure mounted, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation, acknowledging the concerns raised by students and assuring them that their voices had been heard. He urged protesters to maintain peace and reiterated the government's commitment to protecting the integrity of the country's education system.
On Saturday, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stepped down from his post, bringing the protests to a close. Soon after the announcement, social media was flooded with reactions ranging from emotional messages to celebratory videos, including the now-viral clip from Connaught Place.
While the demonstrations have ended, videos such as these continue to document the emotions that marked the movement's final moments, offering a glimpse into how many participants and supporters reacted when the resignation was announced.
