A user of X site identified as Kapil posted, "@unacademy forced a faculty to step down because he asked the students to vote for an educated leader. How weird things can get in India under Narendra Modi. #UninstallUnacademy (sic)."

Uses of X site, formerly known as Twitter, also reacted sharply to the development. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), wondered whether it was a crime to appeal to educated people to vote. He stressed that people's representatives cannot be illiterate.

"Is it a crime to appeal to educated people to vote? If someone is illiterate, personally I respect him. But, people's representatives cannot be illiterate. This is the era of science and technology. Illiterate public representatives can never build the modern India of the 21st century," Kejriwal wrote on X site.

क्या पढ़े लिखे लोगों को वोट देने की अपील करना अपराध है? यदि कोई अनपढ़ है, व्यक्तिगत तौर पर मैं उसका सम्मान करता हूँ। लेकिन जनप्रतिनिधि अनपढ़ नहीं हो सकते। ये साइंस और टेक्नोलॉजी का ज़माना है। 21वीं सदी के आधुनिक भारत का निर्माण अनपढ़ जनप्रतिनिधि कभी नहीं कर सकते। https://t.co/YPX4OCoRoZ

Another X site user Roshan Rai wrote, "For all those wondering why #UninstallUnacademy is trending, let me break it into simple words for you. A law educator at Unacademy, a few days ago called upon his students to vote only for educated leaders, he did not even name anyone. Unacademy today fired that teacher because they assumed that he was speaking against Modi. Karan Sangwan is a very popular teacher, we must not let a young talented teacher get bullied by the dictatorship. Keep tweeting with the hashtag #UninstallUnacademy and show them the power of people. (sic)".
