India: 'Cockroach Janata Party' Escalates Anti-Government Protests Over Exam Leaks
Youth-led 'Cockroach Janata Party' protests against Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and systemic examination paper leaks escalated into violent clashes with police in Delhi on July 20, 2026. While the movement has tactically suspended marches on Parliament due to safety concerns, it maintains its anti-government stance, indicating a shift in tactics rather than a cessation of dissent. Prime Minister Modi has acknowledged the issue and pledged reforms, but public and opposition pressure remains high.
