CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke To Return To India on June 6, Will Protest To Demand Edu Minister's Resign

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has said that a peaceful protest will be held at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on 6 June, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam irregularities and paper leaks affecting NEET-UG 2026 and other national recruitment and entrance tests.

This will be Abhijeet Dipke’s first trip back to India since launching the satirical CJP outfit from the United States, where the party has grown a large online following. The announcement was made through a video message posted on X, in which Abhijeet Dipke directly addressed students and supporters.

Abhijeet Dipke protest targets Dharmendra Pradhan over exam failures

In the video, Abhijeet Dipke linked the demand for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation to what Abhijeet Dipke described as repeated problems in the examination system. Abhijeet Dipke referred to controversies involving NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSCGD, saying lakhs of candidates were affected and left uncertain about future plans because of alleged administrative lapses.

"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," he said in a video posted on X.

Abhijeet Dipke has been among the sharpest critics of Dharmendra Pradhan since the NEET-UG 2026 examination was cancelled following allegations of a paper leak. Authorities have rescheduled NEET-UG 2026 for 21 June 2026, but Abhijeet Dipke argued that accountability must still be fixed for the disruption faced by aspirants.

Abhijeet Dipke protest cites impact on over 1 crore students

Abhijeet Dipke said several major exams together involve more than one crore candidates, whose trust in the system has been shaken. According to Abhijeet Dipke, many of these students feel that their sustained preparation has been disregarded, adding to pressure on families already coping with uncertainty and fear about future prospects.

"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."

Abhijeet Dipke further argued that continued absence of ministerial responsibility would weaken public trust in institutions. "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."

Abhijeet Dipke summed up the exam numbers mentioned in the appeal as follows:

Abhijeet Dipke protest plan and call to students

Announcing the timetable, Abhijeet Dipke said supporters have been asked to gather at the airport when Abhijeet Dipke lands in Delhi on 6 June. From there, the group plans to move to Parliament Street Police Station to formally seek permission for a peaceful gathering at Jantar Mantar.

"I have decided that I will come to Delhi on 6th June, Saturday morning. All of you meet me at the airport. All of us will go to the Parliament Street Police Station and ask for permission to do a peaceful protest on Jantar Mantar."

Abhijeet Dipke stressed that the Abhijeet Dipke protest would remain peaceful and firmly within constitutional limits, and urged young people and students across India to participate. "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."

Abhijeet Dipke added that people must act collectively through lawful channels. "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."

The CJP founder said concerns about possible arrest have been raised by close relatives. "'How long will we live in fear?' The CJP founder also addressed concerns expressed by his family, saying his parents fear he could be arrested upon landing in India. However, he said he hopes authorities will allow the protest to proceed peacefully."

"My friends and family are afraid that they will be arrested and sent to jail. But I still hope that our country is a democracy and we will get permission to protest peacefully. I want to make it clear, I am a big admirer of Gandhi, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh and Nehru and I believe in the constitution of India more than anything else which gives us the right to raise our voice in a democracy."

Abhijeet Dipke repeated admiration for key figures of India’s freedom movement, citing them as inspiration for the Abhijeet Dipke protest. "I want to make it clear, I am a big admirer of Gandhi, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh and Nehru and I believe in the constitution of India more than anything else which gives us the right to raise our voice in a democracy."

Discussing the fear of state action, Abhijeet Dipke said citizens cannot remain silent. "And as far as the fear of jail is concerned, how long will we live in fear? This country does not belong to any one party. This country belongs to all of us. It is a question of our future."

Abhijeet Dipke added that civic duty requires a firm but non-violent response. "Our future is being ruined. And now it is our responsibility that whenever there is something wrong with anyone in this country, we all should raise our voice in a very peaceful and democratic manner. If I wanted, I could have easily taken a job here in the USA."

Abhijeet Dipke said several employment offers were declined so that the Abhijeet Dipke protest and broader campaign could continue from India. "I have also received many job offers in the past few days. But I am not going to take it as I have decided to come back to India because I love my country and I really want to do something for my country. Whatever we are today, it is all because of what this country has given us."

Abhijeet Dipke appealed to supporters, referring to the CJP’s satirical “cockroach” imagery while urging unity. "And now it is our turn to do something for our country. Because if we don't do anything today, who will? How long will we wait for someone else to come, raise their voice and save us? So all the peaceful and cockroaches who believe in the constitution, let's all come together to save the future of millions of students. Thank you."

With NEET-UG 2026 now set for 21 June 2026 after cancellation, the Abhijeet Dipke protest at Jantar Mantar on 6 June is aimed at keeping focus on alleged exam mismanagement, the demand for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, and the wider question of accountability towards more than one crore affected students.
