Satirical 'Cockroach Party' Triggers Delhi Protest Demanding Pradhan's Resignation
Hundreds in New Delhi joined a protest organized by the satirical Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a social-media-driven spoof movement that riffs on India’s ruling party. The demonstrators pressed Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign over May exam irregularities, and organizers urged peaceful demonstration with symbolic acts of education rights. The event reflects a rising trend of youth-led online movements in South Asia, though some Modi supporters dismiss the CJP as a gimmick.
