From journalist to Cockroach Janta Party leader: The story of Saurav Das | BBC News India

Saurav Das went from being a journalist to a prominent face in the biggest youth movement India has seen in years. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest started as an online joke but ended up forcing Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign. Hours after Pradhan stepped down on 25 July, following weeks of protests over exam leaks and testing irregularities, the CJP called off its agitation. BBC News India’s Anahita Sachdev discusses why he joined CJP and answers some questions about the criticism the group has received. #india #cockroachjantaparty #sauravdas #cjpprotest #cjp Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3whmDp3 ----------------------------------- This is the official BBC News India channel.
