Thousands of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Saturday to stage a protest against alleged irregularities in major competitive examinations, including the NEET-UG paper leak and issues related to CBSE, CUET, and SSC-GD exams.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, who arrived in Delhi from the United States at around 7:45 a.m., joined the demonstration after exiting the airport nearly an hour later. The reason for the delay in his departure from the airport has not been disclosed.
Upon coming out of the airport, Dipke was seen holding a book by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, which also became a symbolic centerpiece of the protest. Demonstrators raised slogans demanding the resignation of the Education Minister and called for greater transparency and accountability in the country's examination system.
The protest at Jantar Mantar marks the first public demonstration organized by the CJP. The movement has gained significant traction on social media, attracting widespread public support.
It remains unclear whether the Cockroach Janta Party will formally enter electoral politics. However, political observers note that several organizations in India have previously evolved into political parties after gaining prominence through protests against state and central government policies.
