Indian authorities deployed over 20,000 security personnel to suppress protests in Delhi after the election commission removed 130 million names from voter rolls. The crackdown, which included detaining over 2,000 people and shutting down transport, failed to stop demonstrations led by the youth-focused Cockroach Janata Party.
An AI-generated satirical movement called the Cockroach Janata Party has gone viral in India, using a suit‑and‑tie cockroach mascot to challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi and vent youth frustration over rising unemployment and weak economic prospects. Founded by Abhijeet Dipke, the movement claims millions of followers online, demands gender parity in Parliament and independent media, and has drawn government scrutiny after its X account was blocked. Experts say the surge may involve bots, but the phenomenon highlights persistent discontent among educated Indians even as Modi's BJP remains politically dominant.
