Cockroach Janta Party's Protest Leads to Ministerial Change and Political Ambitions
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a student-led movement sparked by Chief Justice Surya Kant's remark and a leaked NEET-UG 2026 exam paper, mobilized India's Gen Z to protest corruption in education. Their 37-day sit-in at Delhi's Jantar Mantar pressured the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party to replace Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka emphasized their political aim to transform India's politics and highlighted their role in shifting discourse toward education and employment issues.
