New Delhi (HRNW) – The rapidly emerging youth-led political group, Kakroch Janta Party, held its first major public protest in India’s capital, New Delhi, drawing attention to issues of unemployment, education and opportunities for young people.
According to Indian media reports, the protest was organized at Jantar Mantar, where students, youth activists and members of civil society gathered to demand the resignation of Federal Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and call for reforms in the education sector.
Addressing participants, party founder Abhijit Deepke said that if the group’s demands were not taken seriously, the protest movement would be expanded to other cities across the country. He also announced another demonstration in New Delhi next week.
The protest was attended by noted engineer and social activist Sonam Wangchuk, while authorities deployed additional police and security personnel to maintain order during the gathering.
According to reports, the party gained attention after controversy surrounding remarks allegedly linked to unemployed youth sparked widespread debate on social media. Some young people viewed the comments as disrespectful and subsequently organized themselves into a political platform focused on youth-related issues.
In his speech, Abhijit Deepke argued that public debate in recent years had often shifted away from the real concerns of young people. He emphasized that employment, quality education and future opportunities should be among the country’s top priorities.
The party also criticized the suspension of some of its social media accounts, alleging that digital restrictions were being used to suppress dissenting voices. Party leaders maintained that such actions would not stop their campaign.
During the demonstration, participants called for educational reforms, improved employment opportunities and stronger government measures to address the challenges faced by young people across the country.
