Braving torrential rains, a large number of youths under the banner Cockroach Janta Party staged a protest at Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Sunday. Actor Prakash Raj joined the protest too and addressed the crowd.
Prakash Raj said, 'The elected leaders should do their jobs! Why have you changed the equation? You are doing politics, we are supposed to do jobs. No! Youth of this country has decided to fight their fight. Youth of the country is Dalit. Uncles and aunties, you are ruling this country after retirement age. Go away. We the youngsters are fighting for our future. These youngsters are fighting for their dreams.'
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which has been mobilising support through social media platforms and had earlier organised a similar protest in New Delhi, said the alleged NEET question paper leak reflected a failure of the Central government and warranted action against those responsible.
The Bengaluru protest comes after the group’s massive demonstration at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 6. It was followed by protests in Maharashtra’s Pune on June 11, Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow on June 12, and Punjab’s Amritsar on June 13.
