Gen Z-Led Cockroach Janata Party Influences Education Accountability in India
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), a Gen Z-led social movement in India, has influenced public accountability by prompting the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak and reversing a Bar Council of India decision affecting law graduates. Originating from social media campaigns, the CJP now focuses on improving government schools through its 'School Theek Karo Abhiyan.' While it exerts pressure without contesting elections, questions remain about its sustainability and potential political role.
