CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke Gives 7-Day Deadline, Says ‘This Doesn’t End Here’ After Delhi Protest

A day after leading a major demonstration at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over alleged irregularities in the country's education system, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke declared that the movement would continue if Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is not removed from office or chooses not to resign within the next seven days.

Addressing supporters after the protest, Dipke said the gathering had sent a strong message to the government and reflected growing frustration among young people over issues related to education. He described the event as a peaceful and historic mobilisation, noting that many participants had joined a protest for the first time.

Dipke Says Protest Is Far From Over

In a statement released after the demonstration, Dipke thanked those who attended and stressed that the campaign would not stop with the Delhi event.

"But this doesn't end here. Dharmendra Pradhan has wronged an entire generation. If he is not removed or does not step down within the next 7 days, we will be forced to continue our protest on the ground. I will address you all on an Instagram live later today. Stay tuned," Dipke said.

Yesterday, thousands of us made history. Our peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar showed the government a trailer of what cockroaches are capable of when we unite.

The protest, which saw participants gathering under intense summer heat in the national capital, concluded later in the day. However, organisers immediately followed it up with a warning that the agitation could expand beyond Delhi if their demands remain unmet.

CJP Warns of Nationwide Movement

CJP leaders have now issued a one-week ultimatum to the Centre, demanding either the resignation of the education minister or his removal by the government.

"We are giving the government seven days. Either Dharmendra Pradhan should resign respectfully or Prime Minister Narendra Modi should sack him. If his resignation does not come within seven days, this movement will spread throughout the country," said CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka.

Ranka also linked the protest to broader demands for reforms in the education sector.

"The time has come to reset our education system and we have started that reset today," he added.

According to the party, the Jantar Mantar demonstration is only the first phase of a larger campaign that could see protests organised across multiple states if no action is taken within the stipulated timeframe.

BJP Responds, Targets Protest Leadership

The protest also triggered a sharp political response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Speaking hours after thousands gathered at Jantar Mantar, BJP chief Nitin Nabin criticised those he claimed were attempting to influence India's youth from outside the country.

"Some people sitting abroad think that they will dictate the direction to India's youth," Nabin said.

He argued that young Indians are focused on securing their future and contributing to nation-building rather than being drawn into anti-establishment campaigns.

The BJP later shared a video of his remarks on its official X account, where Nabin further stated, "Some people, sitting abroad, think that they will dictate the direction to India's youth. But India's youth will not move forward as puppets in the hands of a few people."

How the CJP Movement Grew

The Cockroach Janta Party emerged as an online campaign following public outrage over remarks made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant. Within a matter of weeks, the organisation gained significant traction on social media, amassing more than 22 million followers on Instagram.

Following its first large-scale offline protest, the group has now signalled plans for a broader mobilisation.

"This is the beginning of a movement. If no action is taken within seven days, this movement will spread across the country," the statement read.

With the deadline now set, attention will turn to the government's response and whether the confrontation between the newly formed outfit and the Centre intensifies in the coming days.
