A joke. A sarcastic dig at the system. Now, it’s shutting down Parliament. The ‘Cockroach Janata Party’; originally born on Twitter as a parody; has become a full-blown political force. Tens of thousands of young Indians flooded Delhi’s streets Monday, demanding answers on exam scandals, education failures, and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Police responded with tear gas and baton charges. Over 60 civilians injured. One woman on a ventilator. Amnesty International called it excessive force. The Supreme Court refused to hear a plea. And then? Opponents like Rahul Gandhi showed up; dressed in black, detained briefly, and refused to back down. Congress, regional parties, even students in Mumbai and Bengaluru; they’re all rallying behind this movement. Pradhan initially mocked them as 'B-team terrorists.' But under pressure, he changed his tune: 'We owe students answers, reforms, accountability.' This isn’t just about exams anymore. It’s about whose voice matters. Who gets to question power. And whether the future of India’s youth is being treated as a political prop; or a promise. The irony? The cockroaches are winning. Because sometimes, the loudest noise comes from the smallest corners.
