Indian Activist Says Youth Protests Have Weakened Modi's Political Standing

An Indian activist who undertook a hunger strike has told the BBC that recent youth-led protests have significantly weakened Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The demonstrations, described as the 'cockroach' movement, represented one of the largest public displays of dissent against Modi in years. The activist spoke to the BBC about the impact of the protests on the prime minister's authority. The movement signals a growing wave of opposition among younger Indians against the current government's leadership.
