A satirical social media group called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has gained significant traction in India, mobilizing young people to protest against exam paper leaks and alleged government inaction. The CJP, founded by Abhijeet Dipke, a former political activist, demands compensation for students affected by the leaks, a transparent testing process, and an independent audit of government contracts awarded to private agencies conducting exams. Despite facing criticism from some quarters, the group has garnered support from students across India, holding rallies in major cities and pushing for change through online activism and street protests.
