‘Even Indira Gandhi wasn’t abused like this’: Jantar Mantar protest exposes youth fury against PM Modi

In an unprecedented display of public anger, thousands of young Indians gathered at Delhi’s historic Jantar Mantar on July 20, 2026, to protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For the first time in independent India’s history, a sitting prime minister is facing such intense personal abuse from the youth.

The protesters, many of whom admitted to voting for Modi in 2014, now accuse him of betraying their trust. They carried placards, memes, and even shoes hanging from Modi’s photographs, symbolizing disgust. The language used was reportedly more vitriolic than any targeted at previous prime ministers, including Indira Gandhi during the Emergency.

One elderly woman at the protest was quoted as saying, ‘India has seen bad governments, but never an evil one like this.’ This sentiment resonates with a generation that feels deceived by unfulfilled promises of good days and development.

The article notes that the police did not intervene to stop the abuse, which some observers interpret as tacit approval. The youth anger is directed solely at Modi, not at other political figures, marking a unique moment in Indian politics.
