The Cockroach Janata Party, a viral Gen‑Z protest movement that started as an online joke, has attracted millions of followers and staged its first street demonstration in New Delhi over alleged exam irregularities, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The movement’s visibility surged after Chief Justice Surya Kant’s comment likening government critics to "cockroaches," which further inflamed tensions.

1. Time to turn this tiny joke into a revolution.
2. A political front for the youth, by the youth, for the youth.

1. And to those who think we will go away after shouting, I want to say: we are cockroaches and we will stay until the minister resigns.
2. To everyone who believes that Indian youth only post on social media, come down here and see this.
3. Every mother in this country fears that if one talks about politics, speaks against this government, [they] will be arrested.
4. The warning to the Modi government is simple: get the education minister to resign.
5. This is a long fight. We are seeing that's it's nearly a month that we are demanding (Pradhan's) resignation.

1. The main motive of this protest is to send a message to people who are sitting in power that the youth is not happy, that people are not happy, people are out here protesting because of the way you are running the country, the way you are running the education system, it is flawed and it needs to be corrected. It's high-time.
2. We want a government that is accountable, someone that listens to the people … That's why we're here.

1. I think as the movement will unravel, there will be more things that we'd want to point out, which are going wrong in this country.

1. People here are very eager to have their voices heard, saying they do want more representation in parliament as well for the youth.
2. Clearly there is a support, but it doesn't seem to fully reflect what we're seeing in terms of the scale that we've seen online over the past couple of weeks.
Satya Prakash Yadav
1. Youth is the future and we will ensure that our future is secure.
Dolly Kumar
1. I think it's in the hands of the government to invest in the youth. We have a youthful population … (but) we have a great rate of unemployment in the country as well. And again, we see our youth preparing for competitive exams … but what we see is mismanagement.
Nandita Narain
1. Those who are opposed to these policies of the government should support this movement, support the young people, and it should remain peaceful, that is very important.
2. I hope that the organizers will not get disheartened or misled into partisan agendas, they should keep the focus and also look at the larger picture.
3. In fact, it's now the first time that we find the youth of India has woken up because the matter has become so terrible that it crossed all limits.
