India’s ‘cockroach’ protests: a rare political opening for the opposition?
India’s student-led 'cockroach' protests, initially sparked by allegations of entrance exam leaks, are evolving into a broader challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over issues like education, jobs, and accountability. The movement gained political traction when opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were forcibly removed during a gathering with fellow lawmakers.
