Arundhati Roy comments that recent protests known as the CJP significantly damaged Prime Minister Modi’s public image in a very short time.

Arundhati Roy has publicly stated that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests have inflicted a greater blow to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public image than even an election defeat could have. She suggests that within just two weeks, the protests eroded over two decades of Modi’s carefully cultivated public persona. These protests, widely covered in Indian media, have sparked debate over their political impact and the future of Modi's leadership and democracy in India.
