Ashutosh Ranka

Ashutosh Ranka is identified as a leader within India's youth-led "Cockroach" movement. This movement, also known as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has gained prominence for organizing nationwide protests against irregularities in educational exams, which previously led to the resignation of the education minister. Ranka and the CJP are currently newsworthy due to their accusations that the government has reneged on promises not to take action against student protesters. Following reports of mass student arrests, the movement has threatened to restart demonstrations. This development comes after previous protests, including marches in New Delhi, which saw clashes with police. The "Cockroach" movement's continued campaigning signifies its ongoing relevance in advocating for student rights and transparency in the Indian education system.
