On June 6, I wrote in this newsletter that many were watching the advent of the Cockroach Janta Party with caution even as it rapidly garnered a massive social media following – mostly comprising the young. Through June, the Cockroach Janta Party had held events in cities across India to demand the resignation of Pradhan. The factors that led me and others to feel sceptical about the Cockroach Janta Party seven weeks ago remain. The undercurrent of anger among India’s youth that brought the Cockroach Janta Party to life evidently transcended the movement’s leadership. The movement is the little boy from The Emperor’s New Clothes who yelled out what their elders had had feared to.
