Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has arrived in India from the United States to lead a mega protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Dipke, who was seen holding a copy of BR Ambedkar's autobiography at the airport, raised slogans demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak case and other alleged examination-related lapses.
The CJP, which has gained a massive following online, is protesting against the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case and alleged irregularities in the CBSE's on-screen marking (OSM) system. Sonam Wangchuk, a 59-year-old activist from Ladakh, has also announced that he will join the protest.
The CJP was initially formed as a satirical reaction to remarks made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant during a court hearing last month. Since then, it has evolved into an organised campaign and built a massive following online.
The party's Instagram account has crossed 22 million followers, more than double the Bharatiya Janata Party's 9 million followers on the platform and ahead of the Congress party's 13 million followers.
