Cockroach Janta Party goes offline: Abhijeet Dipke set to return to Delhi, plans Jantar Mantar protest over exam lapses

Dipke, who currently resides in the United States, said he would return to India to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over recent examination-related controversies and alleged administrative lapses.

Demand For Accountability

In a video posted online, Dipke said students across the country were facing immense anxiety about their future and someone must be held accountable for the situation.

"Students are extremely anxious about their future, so someone has to take responsibility. If the Education Minister doesn't resign even after such a monumental blunder, it will prove there is nothing called accountability left in the country," he said.

"It seems only students are meant to face the consequences of such failures in the system. How long can this continue? The time has come for us to peacefully raise our voices and seek Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation," he added.

March To Seek Protest Permission

Dipke urged his supporters to gather at the airport in New Delhi upon his arrival and accompany him to the Parliament Street Police Station, where he plans to seek permission for the proposed protest at Jantar Mantar.

The CJP founder also said his family members were concerned that he could face arrest after returning to India.

Parents Voice Concern

Amid growing calls from supporters for the formal launch of the Cockroach Janta Party, Dipke's parents have expressed unease over his rising popularity and involvement in political activism.

Speaking to a Marathi news channel, his parents — Bhagwan Dipke and Anita Dipke — said they feared their son could face legal trouble and did not want him to enter politics.

"If we look at politics nowadays, fear is natural, no matter how many followers he has. In one of his interviews, he himself expressed fear of being arrested after returning to India. We read about such incidents in newspapers," Bhagwan Dipke was quoted as saying by The Times of India.

Anita Dipke echoed similar concerns and said the family would prefer that their son stay away from politics.

From Viral Campaign To Street Protest

What began as an online movement has rapidly evolved into a nationwide campaign drawing support from students and young voters frustrated over examination-related issues.

The June 6 protest at Jantar Mantar is expected to be the first major on-ground mobilisation by the Cockroach Janta Party, testing whether its online popularity can translate into real-world political engagement.
