Cockroach People Party Launches 'What Does the Public Say?' Campaign to Address Youth Unemployment and Education Costs Abhijit Deepak, founder of the Cockroach People Party (CJP), announced on Thursday that the party will launch a nationwide campaign titled "What Does the Public Say?" starting in September. The initiative, unveiled during a press conference in Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, aims to engage youth in rural and urban areas by addressing critical issues such as unemployment and the rising cost of education. Deepak emphasized that the campaign will focus on amplifying the voices of young people while pushing for systemic reforms in education and employment. The campaign's focus on unemployment stems from Deepak's assertion that it is one of India's most pressing challenges. He argued that the current economic landscape has left millions of youth without opportunities, necessitating a national conversation to address the issue. Similarly, the party plans to tackle the exorbitant costs of education, which Deepak claims have been driven by profit motives. He criticized the commercialization of schools, colleges, and coaching institutes, stating that CJP will work to reduce fees and improve public education systems. The campaign's roots trace back to the 36-day protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, which began on June 20 and concluded on July 25. The protest, organized by CJP, was initially a response to the alleged leak of NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) papers. During this period, thousands of students, parents, and activists joined the movement, demanding accountability and transparency. The protest gained momentum after the Supreme Court's Chief Justice, Justice Sanjay Kishan, compared unemployed youth to cockroaches during a hearing.#sambhajinagar #jantar_mantar #neet_test #abhijit_deepak #cockroach_people_party
Protest in Siwan, Bihar: Police Use of AK-47 Sparks Outcry Amid Student Demonstrations On July 25, 2026, a violent clash erupted in Siwan, Bihar, during a protest organized by students opposing the alleged leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) papers. The incident, which involved the use of an AK-47 by police personnel, has drawn widespread condemnation, with political leaders and activists accusing authorities of excessive force. The events unfolded amid tensions between student groups and law enforcement, raising questions about the proportionality of the police response. The Protest and Initial Clashes The protests began as a peaceful demonstration against the NEET paper leak, with students from the All India Students Association (AISA) and other groups gathering in Siwan’s Gandhi Maidan and J.P. Chowk. However, tensions escalated when clashes broke out between the protesters and police. According to local reports, the AISA group initially maintained a peaceful stance, but disagreements over the use of flags and banners led to confrontations with the independent student groups. As the situation grew volatile, police deployed baton charges to disperse the crowd. Witnesses reported that stones were thrown at officers, prompting the use of force. A senior police official, SP Purnan Kumar Jha, confirmed that the police had to intervene to restore order, though he initially denied the use of firearms. The AK-47 Incident and Controversy The controversy intensified when video footage surfaced showing a police constable, Abhishek Kumar, firing an AK-47 at the protesters. The footage, which was shared by local media, depicted at least eight rounds being fired, far exceeding the police’s initial claim of four rounds.#nitish_kumar #tejashwi_yadav #all_india_students_association #siwan_bihar #neet_test
