India’s Gen-Z Cockroach Janta Party, whose recent protest against exam paper leaks claimed a rare ministerial scalp, has no immediate plans to enter electoral politics, its founder told Reuters yesterday.

Abhijeet Dipke spearheaded demonstrations that spread nationwide from Delhi, forcing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s education minister to resign, and spotlighting young people’s worries about high jobless rates despite rapid economic growth.

“We want to consult Gen Z on the issues they want us to focus on,” Dipke said in an interview at his home in the western state of Maharashtra, adding that supporters would meet for two days from today to decide their next steps.

“The purpose will be to form the agenda for the Cockroach Janta Party and discuss how we can take this social movement forward,” said Dipke, as he posed for photographs with visitors streaming into his two-storey family home.
