Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by its founder Abhijeet Dipke, launched its maiden protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Saturday (June 6). The agenda of the CJP is to build pressure on the central government over the NEET paper leak and issues faced by the students in the CBSE class 12 exam results, calling for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Under Dipke, the Cockroach Janta Party, a satirical political movement that garnered a huge following via social media platforms within weeks since it had come up, has been building up for its protest in the last few days.
The CJP, in their day-long protest, demanded Dharmendra Pradhan’s removal, warned that the agitation would expand across the country if he is not sacked or does not resign voluntarily.
