Even RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and BJP veteran Murali Manohar Joshi expressed support for the students' right to question. The movement, which gained momentum via social media as the 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP), has sent a strong warning to the NDA government regarding the disillusionment of the youth over lack of jobs and education reforms. https://www.varthabharati.in/nimma-ankana/gen-z-pricked-modis-conscience-2264375
