From “Cockroach is the New Tiger” posters to Dakhni slogans and chants demanding accountability, Dharna Chowk in Hyderabad on Sunday (June 14, 2026) witnessed an unusual blend of satire and dissent, as climate activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) protest seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak.
What began as a demonstration over examination irregularities gradually evolved into a wider conversation on educational inequality, democratic freedoms and political accountability, with speakers repeatedly questioning the state of India’s education system and the responsibility of those in power.
