Analysed 23 Jul 2026·116 sources analysed·Delhi, India·Politics
Youth-Led Protests Over NEET Leaks and Education Reforms Intensify in DelhiPreviousNext

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) student protests in Delhi, sparked by NEET exam paper leaks and demands for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, have grown into a significant youth-led movement. Demonstrators faced police lathi-charges and tear gas during a march to Parliament, prompting widespread debate on police conduct and democratic rights. The protests highlight broader concerns about education system failures, unemployment, and political accountability, with diverse views on government response and opposition involvement. Social media and volunteer efforts have sustained the movement amid internet restrictions and security measures.
