Massive youth protests in India are rattling the political scene, posing a significant challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Once seen as unshakeable, Modi’s grip on power in India is under pressure.
Protests by the ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ have surged, driven by changes to the voter rolls. This has sparked widespread unrest among the nearly billion-strong electorate in the world’s largest democracy.
Photos from New Delhi, captured by Elke Scholiers, depict protesters climbing buses in defiance during the demonstrations. These protests represent the biggest political test for Modi since he took office in 2014.
