‘Apolitical’ Cockroach protest caught between absent Rahul, indifferent Modi govt while Wangchuk's health worsens

The health of Sonam Wangchuk, a key figure in the "apolitical" Cockroach protest, is deteriorating as he loses muscle mass, according to those close to him. Despite claims of being independent of political parties, the movement finds itself sidelined by both absent opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and an indifferent Modi government. This situation highlights the struggle of grassroots initiatives to gain attention and support in a politically charged environment, raising questions about the effectiveness of non-partisan protests in effecting change.
