Modi’s greatest challenge yet? Delhi struggles to contain student unrest.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed ongoing student protests in Delhi, which stem from allegations of exam paper leaks undermining trust in the education system. The protests, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), began after a major medical entrance exam scandal resulted in the cancellation of results and several student suicides. Despite Modi's promises of action, tensions remain high as students and activists demand accountability, including the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Protests have escalated, with clashes between demonstrators and police resulting in injuries and detentions. The movement reflects broader frustrations with corruption and youth unemployment, marking a significant challenge for Modi's government.
