The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) maintains its peaceful sit‑in at Jantar Mantar and is set to meet government ministers today, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak scandal.

Key Takeaways

  • CJP delegation scheduled to meet ministers today
  • Protest will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns
  • Back‑room talks underway to resolve NEET paper‑leak deadlock

Jantar Mantar in Delhi has become the epicenter of a calm yet determined sit‑in by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). Sources confirm that a CJP delegation will meet with senior government ministers at 12:30 pm today, though the exact venue remains undisclosed.

The party insists that the “strictest action” against examination irregularities is the removal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. This demand follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement of a stringent anti‑leak bill in Parliament. CJP national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka urged the PM directly, “Remove Dharmendra Pradhan tomorrow – that’s the strictest action you can take.”

In a parallel development, activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26‑day hunger strike after receiving assurances from Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Dr. Jitendra Singh at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram. Wangchuk posted on X that he broke his fast in their presence.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the protest not only challenges education policy but also tests the government’s credibility ahead of upcoming elections. If Pradhan does not step down, CJP has signaled that its next actions could intensify, potentially swelling public dissent.

“A loss of confidence in the education ministry could have far‑reaching electoral repercussions,” notes political analyst Dr. Rina Singh.
