Dharmendra Pradhan and Prahlad Joshi – these are two names that you might have heard frequently in the last few days. After protests and demonstrations by the young generation (Gen-Z), the government accepted the resignation of the country’s former education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accepting the public demand. Subsequently, the Modi Cabinet approved the appointment of Pralhad Joshi and handed over the responsibility of the Education Ministry to him. However, as soon as Prahlad replaced Pradhan, the web series *Panchayat* started trending on social media; The reasons behind this – and the comments from users – will definitely surprise you.
**Trend of *Panchayat* series after Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation**
As soon as Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from the post of Education Minister on July 25, social media was flooded with memes related to the web series *Panchayat*. But why did it happen? This happened because there are two characters named ‘Pradhan’ and ‘Prahlad’ in this series: ‘Pradhan-ji’ (husband of the chief) and ‘Prahlad-cha’ (deputy chief). The fourth season of the show takes a shocking turn that leaves the audience shocked.
**Understanding the scene**
In the fourth season of *Panchayat*, village head Manju Devi loses the election by 73 votes and Kranti Devi (Banarkas character’s wife) wins the seat. As a result, Pradhan-ji loses his power, and it seems that Banarakas is set to take charge of the Panchayat office. However, a discussion starts in the village on making Prahlad-cha a candidate for the MLA elections. This perception changes as during the third season, Prahlad-cha’s son – an army man – is martyred on the border, garnering huge emotional support from the villagers. That is why people are jokingly saying that Pradhan-ji lost his ‘PM’ (Prime Minister/Prime Minister post) position, while Prahlad-cha got the chance to become an MLA. That is why a phrase like “Pradhan then Prahlad comes” is becoming popular on social media, which reflects the recent trend seen in Indian politics.

What an amazing coincidence, man.”
