India’s ‘Cockroaches’ Criticise Modi Over Lack of Accountability

The Diplomat’s Asia‑Pacific edition published a piece titled "There Is Zero Accountability: India’s ‘Cockroaches’ Question Modi and a Broken System". The article reports that a growing segment of the Indian public has begun to label Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "cockroach", a metaphor used to express frustration with perceived lack of accountability in the country’s political machinery. The piece highlights how this terminology reflects a broader critique of systemic issues that critics say allow leaders to evade responsibility. While the article does not provide specific incidents, it underscores a sentiment that the current governance structure fails to hold officials adequately accountable. The commentary suggests that this growing discontent could influence public discourse and future political engagement in India.
