Abhijeet Dipke started the Cockroach Janta Party Instagram as a parody, but the movement culminated into mass demonstrations over the past two months.
Students and young people from all different backgrounds came together to demand the resignation of BJP Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after it was revealed that a notoriously difficult medical entrance exam had been leaked.
Over 2 million students were told that their exam results would be voided and they would be forced to take it again.
The CJP says at least 21 students died by suicide as a result.
After weeks of protests and a hunger strike, the education minister finally resigned. AJ+ takes you inside the movement that’s taking on the BJP and the Modi government.
