India’s Gen Z dents Modi’s aura ahead of state polls

The protest led by India’s Cockroach Janta Party, a youth-driven movement, has sparked significant dissent against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of crucial state elections. The party’s leaders have been vocal about exam paper leaks, causing widespread outrage among students and their families. Modi's response, a rare self-recorded video, aims to address the concerns but doesn’t seem to fully quell the growing discontent. This surge in social media-driven activism among Gen Z highlights a significant shift in political engagement and signals potential challenges for Modi’s administration in upcoming polls.
