The Cockroach Janta Party crowd is still dug in at Jantar Mantar right in the heart of New Delhi. For context: the CJP started in May as a satirical online campaign by strategist Abhijeet Dipke and turned into India's biggest Gen Z protest movement in years, now backed by major student unions. Even after the police hit them hard on Monday, tear gas, batons, nearly 180 injured, they're not leaving. Their one big demand hasn't changed: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has to resign over the NEET exam leaks. - Oliya Scootercaster 🛴
