The usually calm streets of Delhi witnessed a dramatic turn of events yesterday as tens of thousands of protesters from the ‘Cockroach’ party defied police orders and marched through the city. The protesters, who were clad in their signature black and yellow attire, had gathered at the Jantar Mantar to demand the resignation of the Centre’s government.
According to eyewitnesses, the protesters were led by the party’s leaders, who were seen addressing the crowd and urging them to remain calm despite the heavy police presence. The police, who had set up barricades and water cannons, appeared to be in a state of high alert, with hundreds of personnel deployed to maintain law and order.
The ‘Cockroach’ Movement Gains Momentum
The ‘Cockroach’ party, which has been gaining popularity in recent months, has been at the forefront of several protests and agitations in the country.

What’s Next?
As the situation in Delhi continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the protesters’ demands. While the Centre has maintained that it is committed to upholding the law, many have accused it of trying to suppress the movement.
