Cockroach Janta Party Founder Slapped During Protest in Jaipur Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was allegedly assaulted during a protest in Jaipur on June 15, 2026. According to police and eyewitness accounts, Dipke was carried on the shoulders of his supporters as he arrived at the protest site near the Shaheed Smarak. During this moment, some youths in the crowd reportedly slapped him multiple times. Following the incident, Dipke’s supporters restrained the alleged perpetrators before police intervened. Two youths were subsequently detained for further investigation. The protest, which drew a large gathering of youths, was organized to address grievances related to the alleged NEET paper leak and high unemployment rates. Dipke addressed the crowd, condemning divisive politics and urging unity across religious and caste lines. He declared, “But we cockroaches will not be intimidated by these tactics. (Union Education Minister) Dharmendra Pradhan will have to resign...this is our only aim,” and reiterated his demand for Pradhan’s resignation on social media. One of the detained accused, Rakesh Gurjar, claimed to be a nationalist and accused Dipke of having a “Jihadi” mindset, alleging that the paper leak was a fabricated excuse. CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka criticized Rajasthan’s education system, stating that the state—known for producing IITians and chartered accountants—was experiencing a decline in academic standards. He emphasized that the protest reflected growing concerns and pledged efforts to reform the education system. Protesters carried placards with slogans against corruption and examination irregularities, demanding accountability for the NEET, CBSE, CUET, and SSC paper leaks. The demonstration also included calls for action on youth-related issues.#jaipur #sonam_wangchuk #dharmendra_pradhan #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke
Cockroach Janta Party Mobilizes for Delhi Protest Amid Education System Criticisms The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a Gen Z-led movement, is set to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on June 6, following claims of receiving permission from Delhi Police. The demonstration, scheduled to begin at 10 am, aims to address alleged lapses in the education system, including controversies surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and irregularities in the CBSE's on-screen marking (OSM) system used for evaluating Class 12 board exams. The party’s spokesperson, Vijeta Dahiya, stated that the protest is expected to attract “a few hundred people,” though the scale remains uncertain. Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of CJP, arrived in Delhi on Saturday to oversee the event. He urged supporters to maintain discipline and ensure the protest remains peaceful, emphasizing the need for “love and peace” in the movement. Dipke, a 30-year-old journalist from Maharashtra, has built the party into a significant online presence, with its Instagram account amassing over 22 million followers—more than double the Bharatiya Janata Party’s 9 million and surpassing the Congress party’s 13 million. The party’s growth stems from its origins as a satirical response to remarks by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who referred to certain individuals as “cockroaches” and “parasites” during a court hearing. Over time, it evolved into an organized campaign with a clear focus on education reform. The protest’s demands center on accountability, justice, and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP distributed pamphlets at the protest site, highlighting that a petition calling for Pradhan’s resignation had garnered over 8 lakh signatures.#sonam_wangchuk #dharmendra_pradhan #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke #vijeta_dahiya
Cockroach Janta Party Founder Prepares for Protest at Jantar Mantar Amid Heightened Security Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the satirical online “Cockroach Janta Party” (CJP), has arrived in New Delhi ahead of a planned protest at Jantar Mantar, where he aims to rally support for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Dipke, who returned to India from Boston on June 6, expressed his anticipation for the gathering, stating, “We have to lead this movement with love and peace!” in a post on X. The protest, scheduled for June 6, seeks to address examination-related lapses in the education system, a cause that has drawn attention from reformers like Sonam Wangchuk, who pledged to join the demonstration if Pradhan does not resign by June 5. Delhi police have intensified security measures across the national capital in anticipation of the protest. Additional personnel have been deployed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, border entry points, and other sensitive locations. Authorities confirmed that multiple layers of barricades have been erected outside the airport, while vehicle-checking drives have been ramped up at border crossings and major routes leading to central Delhi. Police teams are also stationed at key intersections and marketplaces to maintain law and order. Despite these precautions, the Delhi Police clarified that they have not received any formal request for permission to hold the protest at Jantar Mantar. A senior officer stated, “We will examine their request if and when they seek permission,” adding that the police are monitoring the situation closely and have made preliminary security arrangements.#sonam_wangchuk #dharmendra_pradhan #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke #jantar_mantar
