Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) announced today in Delhi that it will not hold talks at Central Health Minister JP Nadda’s private residence or office, but only at a public site such as Jantar Mantar or any beach. The statement was posted by party leader Ashutosh Ranka on X (formerly Twitter).

The government had already sent four formal proposals, indicating no restriction on the meeting location. Union Minister Jitendra Singh affirmed readiness to engage openly with youth and invited them to come at any convenient time.

Ranka added, "If the government wishes to meet CJP representatives, it must engage in serious discussions on our demands, not just ceremonial talk." He emphasized that no time should be wasted under the guise of dialogue.

Historical Background

Over the past two years, India has witnessed large‑scale student and civil society protests against various government policies. Demands for open dialogue have frequently led to clashes, but also to substantive policy revisions.
