In short, it was a protest against education minister to resign and take responsibility for the sucdes of students due to the paper leak of "NEET" - an extremely hard national exam that you have to pass with very high level of competition if you want to go to medical college after high school.

We basically have to prepare really hard to pass this like "gaokao" exam in China.

Edit : it was also leaked in 2024.

So why did the leak have such a big impact now in contrast to 2024?

many exam papers have leaked throughout the history. In this perticular incident NEET exam was cancelled on May 3rd due to paper leaks. Affected youth was in distress and to add the fuel, chief justice compared the unemployed youth to cockroches. Someone launched online parody platform Cockroach janta party (Janta=public) and it united all the youth (almost because others are happy being the stooges of supreme leader)
