‘I’m a cockroach’: Gen Z protest movement lands in Indian capital | Narendra Modi
A satirical political party, the so-called Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has organized protests in New Delhi demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The movement, sparked by online jokes and fueled by student anger over exam irregularities and government indifference, saw young protesters like Abhijeet Dipke, a recent graduate from Boston University, leading the charge. Dipke's initiative gained traction on social media, drawing support from millions and inspiring a large turnout of students demanding accountability from the Modi government. The protests highlight growing frustration among India’s largest youth population, who have seen little political progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rule.
