India education minister resigns amid Cockroach Janata protests

Dharmendra Pradhan, India's education minister, resigned on Saturday after a week of mass demonstrations by the Cockroach Janata party over an exam leak scandal that led to student suicides. His resignation, the first time a BJP minister has been forced out by public pressure, was celebrated by tens of thousands of protesters in Delhi. The movement, which began in May, escalated into a nationwide youth uprising.
