‘Fear of the regime has now gone’: How big a risk does ‘cockroach’ movement pose to India’s BJP?

India's education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned following protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), marking the first cabinet minister resignation under Modi's government since 2014. The movement, which has revitalized opposition efforts, challenges BJP's dominance and raises concerns ahead of 2027 state elections. Analysts suggest the government yielded to avoid alienating youth voters, a key demographic for BJP.
