Abhijeet Dipke's First India Visit Since CJP Launch: June 6 Protest To Demand Dharmendra Pradhan's Resignation

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke says a peaceful sit-in is planned at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 6, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over alleged exam failures, including NEET paper leak claims, in what will also be Dipke’s first visit to India after launching the party.

In a video statement posted on X, Dipke directly linked the call for resignation to distress among students preparing for national entrance and recruitment tests. Dipke argued that repeated controversies around these exams had shaken trust in the system and said a senior minister must accept responsibility for these failures.

Abhijeet Dipke protest and Dharmendra Pradhan resignation demand

Addressing followers online, Dipke said: "Hello everyone, I have decided to come back to India. Yes, I am coming back to my country, my home, India, to ask for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. You have been seeing for so many days that we are raising our voice on social media that because of the paper leak, the children of NEET who committed suicide and the hard work of lakhs of students that has been wasted, for that, Dharmendra Pradhan should resign," explaining why the campaign is moving from social media to the streets.

Dipke framed the protest as a constitutional exercise rather than a confrontation with authorities. "The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution of India, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us." Dipke stressed adherence to legal and democratic methods.

Will be returning to India to demand the resignation of the Education Minister.

I request the youth of India to join this peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar and exercise our constitutional right to seek accountability from the government. https://t.co/W8oZsGmgvi

In the same video, Dipke widened the criticism beyond NEET to highlight repeated issues across major exams such as CBSE, CUET and SSCGD. Dipke said lapses in organisation and oversight had harmed a very large group of candidates and had created fear and uncertainty about careers, admissions and government jobs for many young aspirants.

Dipke cited specific figures to argue the scale of the impact, saying: "Today, NEET's 22 lakh students, CBSE's 17 lakh students, CUET's 16 lakh students and SSCGD's 40 lakh students, there are more than 1 crore students whose lives have been mocked by the system. Because of this, students are very anxious and worried about their future. Someone has to take responsibility for this."

The CJP founder urged students and youth to assert their rights under the Constitution by participating in the Jantar Mantar gathering. Dipke said: "Even after such a big blunder, if the Education Minister doesn't resign, it means that there is no accountability left in this country. It seems that the system can make as many mistakes as it wants and there are no consequences for that. All the consequences are for the students."

Sharing logistical plans, Dipke announced that the journey will start with a flight to Delhi on June 6, a Saturday morning, where supporters are being asked to assemble. After that, Dipke said everyone will move to Parliament Street Police Station together and formally seek permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, keeping the campaign non-violent.

Reaffirming that the movement will stay within legal boundaries, Dipke said: "India's constitution gives us the right to raise our voice against wrongdoings peacefully. According to that constitution, we will raise our voice and I hope that all the supporters of CoCRO Jantar Party and all the students and youth who are worried about this system will join this protest. Those who think that Dharmendra Pradhan should resign, all of them should join this protest."

Dipke also addressed doubts about returning to India, saying relatives, especially parents, feared possible arrest or legal action when Dipke lands. Referring to those concerns, Dipke asked, "How long will we live in fear?" while expressing hope that authorities will allow the protest at Jantar Mantar to proceed peacefully in line with democratic norms.
