Satirical 'Cockroach Party' mobilizes Delhi youths over exam scandals
TL;DR Summary
A Delhi protest at Jantar Mantar saw the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical online movement, mobilize hundreds of mostly young people to demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation amid exam leaks and glitches. Led by Abhijeet Dipke, the group has leveraged meme culture into political organizing, boasting massive social media followings and posing a challenge to traditional parties, though some supporters of Modi’s BJP dismiss it as a gimmick. The event highlights youth frustration with exams, jobs, and perceived erosion of trust in India’s systems.
