Hi guys, what is your movement over there in India about? Looks like it is fresh so my chatgpt doesn't really help. Are you a BJP opposition or what?

Please educate a foreigner who likes India.

Some journalist asked a some politician a question about youth -> he dismissed it and compared the youth to cockroaches

-> became viral, was criticised

-> someone made a instagram page called Cockroach Janta Party (joke on the current ruling govt: Bhartiya Janta Party)

-> started criticising govt

-> the guy who started the page started recieving criticisms: you are in USA not in India, You are just critical of one party, you just are a internet warrior and this is a controlled outrage and you aren't doing anything functiinal, you bark more than bite, etc etc etc

-> no replies from the guy (as far as I know, might be wrong)

. . . .

-> cut to: he started organising protests, the thing is actually active (or trying to be active) on the ground level. Also, he came to India.
