"We were rote learning our lawyer’s number.” Tens of thousands of security personnel have been deployed and roads barricaded in Delhi to stop the latest Cockroach Janta Party demonstration. The movement began in response to a remark by India's Chief Justice Surya Kant, who had likened jobless youngsters to "cockroaches". Momentum built as the movement tapped into anger over unemployment, exam paper leaks and government accountability - the most recent protest calls for electoral reforms and the resignation of India's election chief. One protester told the BBC they were "prepared" minutes before being detained. Tap the link @BBCNews's bio to find out how the movement began. #India #Delhi #BBCNews
