After leading a two-month protest, Abhijeet Dipke announced the education minister's resignation to a large crowd in New Delhi, marking a significant moment for the student-led movement he founded.
Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old activist, announced to a crowd at New Delhi's main protest site that India's education minister had resigned, fulfilling a demand that had driven his two-month campaign. Dipke, who started the Cockroach Janta Party as a satirical response to a judge's remarks about young people, said, "Long live student power," and raised his fist in celebration. The announcement was met with applause and cheers from the assembled demonstrators, who gathered to support the youth-led movement. The protest, which began as a loosely organized effort to channel student frustration, grew into a sizable organization that pressured the government to act on its demands.
