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
