Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke to return to India, plans protest at Jantar Mantar

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the social media-driven movement known as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has announced that he will return to India on June 6 and lead a protest in New Delhi demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

According to reports, Dipke said the protest would be held at Jantar Mantar and would focus on issues linked to recent examination-related controversies, including concerns raised over alleged irregularities in national-level entrance examinations. He described the proposed demonstration as a peaceful public movement aimed at drawing attention to student grievances.

Ahead of his arrival, Dipke appealed to supporters to gather at the airport and join the campaign. His announcement was made through social media, where the Cockroach Janta Party has gained significant visibility in recent weeks, particularly among students and young people discussing education-related issues.

The planned protest is expected to centre on demands for accountability over examination controversies that have triggered public debate. Reports noted that Dipke has specifically called for the resignation of the Education Minister, arguing that students have been affected by repeated concerns surrounding exam administration and related issues.

The announcement comes amid the growing popularity of the Cockroach Janta Party, a satirical political movement that has attracted attention online through its criticism of governance, education policies and youth-related concerns. The group’s digital presence has expanded rapidly, with many followers engaging with its content across social media platforms.

Reports also indicated that Dipke believes there is a possibility of facing action upon his return to India. He reportedly expressed concern that he could be detained or questioned after landing, though no official confirmation regarding such action has been issued.
