New Delhi, June 1, 2026: Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the rapidly growing youth-led movement Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has announced that he will return to India on June 6 to launch a peaceful protest demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over a series of examination-related controversies.
In a video shared on Instagram and X, Dipke called upon students and CJP supporters from across the country to unite and raise their voices through democratic and constitutional means. He urged supporters to gather at Delhi Airport upon his arrival and accompany him to the Parliament Street Police Station, where he plans to seek official permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar.
“The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation,” Dipke said in the video. “If we stand together, our voices cannot be ignored.”
Dipke alleged that repeated examination-related lapses have caused widespread anxiety among students nationwide. He claimed that controversies surrounding NEET-UG 2026, CBSE’s re-evaluation process, CUET, and SSC GD examinations have affected more than one crore students, creating uncertainty about their academic and professional futures.
The CJP founder further stated that an online petition demanding the Education Minister’s resignation has already received nearly eight lakh signatures. According to him, demonstrations over education-related concerns are already taking place in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.
Questioning accountability within the education system, Dipke argued that such large-scale examination disruptions require responsibility at the highest level. “If the Education Minister does not resign even after such a massive blunder, it means there is no accountability left in the system,” he said.
Addressing concerns about his possible arrest upon arrival in India, Dipke acknowledged that his family and friends are worried about potential action against him. However, he expressed confidence in India’s democratic institutions and said he hopes authorities will permit a peaceful protest.
“I still believe that our country is a democracy, and that citizens have the right to peacefully express their concerns,” he stated.
Describing himself as an admirer of Mahatma Gandhi, B.R. Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh, and Jawaharlal Nehru, Dipke emphasized his commitment to constitutional values and non-violent protest. He also encouraged students and supporters to overcome fear and participate in what he described as a movement to safeguard the future of millions of young Indians.
The announcement comes amid growing political pressure on the Education Ministry following the cancellation and rescheduling of NEET-UG 2026 due to alleged paper leaks and ongoing criticism regarding examination management. Opposition parties, including Congress, have also demanded accountability and called for the Education Minister’s resignation.
With thousands of supporters expected to join the demonstration, all eyes will be on Delhi on June 6 as the CJP prepares to turn its online momentum into a large-scale public movement.
