India's Cockroach Janta Party holds first protest in New Delhi at Jantar Mantar

Hundreds of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical social media movement with roughly 22 million Instagram followers, gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Saturday. The protest, led by founder Abhijeet Dipke who returned from the US, demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam irregularities. The movement originated after India's Chief Justice likened government critics to cockroaches, and has grown into a broader expression of youth frustration over unemployment and education system failures.

The split, in one line

Most outlets treat CJP as a viral youth movement making its real-world debut; SCMP uniquely frames it as the largest online expression of dissent against Modi, while others focus on the protest logistics and exam grievances without the broader anti-Modi framing.
