Viral Indian youth movement Cockroach Janta Party hits Delhi streets for first protest The mock political party with roughly 22 million Instagram followers is the largest online expression of dissent against Narendra Modi Abhijeet Dipke, 30, who has lived in the United States for the past two years, had said his family and friends feared he could be arrested on his return to India. Dozens of police officers gathered near Jantar Mantar in central Delhi on Saturday, barricading some of the surrounding roads as protesters shouted slogans demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP, which has amassed roughly 22 million Instagram followers since launching in mid-May, is the largest online expression of dissent against the Hindu nationalist Modi’s 12-year-old rule, fuelled by persistently high youth unemployment and recurring leaks of examination papers that threaten to derail the careers of millions of students.
