Modi's Aura Shattered: India's Youth Protests Send Shockwaves Through the Ruling BJP Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cultivated an image of invincibility for over a decade, but it was punctured last week as youth led protests over exam irregularities and job prospects forced the education minister's resignation and government concessions.
The protests have sent shockwaves through the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has long prided itself on its ability to maintain control over India's rapidly changing digital landscape.
The online movement, known as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), launched just last month and has amplified the protests by amassing millions of followers.
