Abhijeet Dipke Targets PM Modi, Questions Anti-Paper Leak Law and Warns of Fresh Student Protests
New Delhi : Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the Prime Minister should step down from office and become a social media influencer instead. Dipke also questioned the effectiveness of the recently passed anti-paper leak law, arguing that legislation alone cannot solve the country’s examination crisis without honest implementation.
Speaking to reporters after returning to his hometown in Maharashtra, Dipke took a swipe at the Prime Minister’s growing presence on social media, particularly his videos aimed at engaging young people.
“I think Prime Minister Modi would do very well as an influencer. If he is so good at creating social media content, then perhaps he should leave the Prime Minister’s chair, become an influencer, and let someone else focus on governing the country,” Dipke remarked.
His comments came a day after Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi also criticised the Prime Minister’s social media outreach in Parliament, saying young people cannot be won over through camera angles alone and that the government must address their real concerns.
Questions Anti-Paper Leak Bill
Dipke also expressed doubts about the anti-paper leak Bill recently passed in the Lok Sabha. While acknowledging that stronger laws are important, he argued that the real challenge lies in implementation rather than legislation.
According to him, India already has several good laws, but they often fail because those responsible for enforcing them do not act sincerely.
Referring to the government’s announcement of fast-track courts for paper leak cases, Dipke claimed the promise had failed to inspire confidence after the first scheduled hearing was reportedly postponed because the investigating agency’s counsel did not appear.
He said this demonstrated that simply introducing new laws would not solve the problem unless the authorities responsible for implementing them were committed to ensuring justice.
Background Of The Student Movement
Dipke rose to national prominence after leading weeks of student protests against alleged examination irregularities, including the NEET paper leak controversy and rising concerns over student suicides.
On July 20, thousands of students marched towards Parliament under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party, demanding the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and broader reforms to India’s examination system.
The demonstrations led to police action, with several protesters being detained and FIRs registered against students and organisers.
Following negotiations, the agitation was suspended on July 25 after the government agreed to several demands, including discussions on education reforms, compensation for affected families and the withdrawal of FIRs filed against protesters.
Fresh Warning To The Government
Dipke alleged that despite those assurances, students continue to face police action in several states and many FIRs remain in place. He accused the authorities of targeting student protesters even after an agreement had been reached.
Warning of another nationwide movement, Dipke said the government’s actions had not reduced the anger among students.
He stated that if FIRs were not withdrawn and students continued to face harassment, the CJP would organise an even larger peaceful protest in the coming months.
According to Dipke, the resignation of the former Education Minister alone would not satisfy students unless meaningful reforms were implemented and promises made by the government were honoured.
‘Students Will Reply Through Votes’
The CJP founder also issued a political warning, saying every student represents an entire family’s votes.
Referring to reports of police action during the protests, including allegations of lathi-charge and pellet gun use, Dipke said such incidents would influence voters during future elections.
He argued that governments must understand that action against students affects public sentiment and could have electoral consequences if grievances remain unaddressed.
Reaction To Kangana Ranaut’s Remarks
Dipke also responded to BJP MP Kangana Ranaut’s recent remarks describing Gen Z as a “gutter generation.”
Without directly engaging with her comments, he questioned her role in Parliament, saying he preferred responding only to leaders actively involved in public affairs and policy discussions.
Movement Not Over Yet
Although the first phase of the CJP-led agitation has ended, Dipke made it clear that the movement is far from over. He said students across the country remain frustrated and are closely watching whether the government fulfils its promises.
He maintained that unless pending FIRs are withdrawn, students are protected from further legal action and meaningful education reforms are introduced, the organisation is prepared to return to the streets with an even bigger nationwide protest.
