The nation's "Cockroach" movement then called off its weeks of protests, saying the government had accepted all of its demand after Pradhan's resignation. It started as a call for education reforms but has grown into a broader protest over unemployment, government accountability and economic opportunities. Prachi Kumar, a corporate employee who joined the protests, said Pradhan's resignation was necessary to restore accountability in the education system. The Cockroach Janta Party, which launched the protest movement, declared victory following the resignation, writing on X: "DEMOCRACY WINS!" Opposition parties, which rallied behind the protests, said Pradhan's resignation showed the government had bowed to sustained public pressure.
