Students and Youth Rally at Jantar Mantar as CJP Intensifies Demand for Education Reforms
Hundreds of students, parents, and young professionals gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) organized a large-scale protest demanding accountability for alleged irregularities in several national examinations.
Led by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, the demonstration focused on concerns surrounding exams such as NEET, CUET, CBSE, and SSC recruitment tests. Protesters called for greater transparency in the education system and sought the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The gathering witnessed participants carrying placards, books, and national flags, while many wore the party’s symbolic cockroach masks. Organizers repeatedly urged supporters to maintain peace and discipline throughout the event, emphasizing that the movement was intended to remain democratic and non-violent.
The protest reflects growing frustration among many young Indians who feel affected by recurring controversies related to examinations, recruitment processes, unemployment, and educational opportunities. Supporters argued that students deserve a fair and transparent system that protects their future.
Security was tightened across the national capital ahead of the event, with authorities deploying additional personnel to ensure public safety and maintain order. Despite the heightened security presence, the protest remained peaceful as participants voiced their concerns and demands.
Abhijeet Dipke, who recently returned from the United States to participate in the demonstration, addressed the crowd and reiterated the movement’s commitment to constitutional methods of protest. He said the campaign aims to amplify the voices of students and young citizens seeking reforms in the country’s education framework.
The protest marks another milestone for the Cockroach Janta Party, which began as an online satirical movement but has rapidly evolved into a youth-led platform attracting widespread attention across social media and beyond.
