Bharatiya Janata Party

The Bharatiya Janata Party appears in Cockroaches 1, Modi 0: India’s remarkable protests as the ruling-party context around Narendra Modi and the youth-led Cockroach Movement. The source says protesters deliberately used patriotic symbols because BJP politics often frames critics as anti-national.

The episode also keeps the party’s strength in view. Even after Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, the source describes the BJP as politically strong and the opposition as weak and divided, so the protest victory is treated as a breach in invulnerability rather than a full political realignment.
