CJP Leaders Meet Union Minister JP Nadda, Submit Letter Of Demands

The government has asked protesters under the banner of the satirical political group Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to end their sit-in at central Delhi, following a meeting between Union minister JP Nadda and CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. The CJP has been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak.

The group's spokesperson Saurav Das in a post on X said that he and another spokesperson, Ashutosh Ranka, met Nadda at his house for 10 minutes and gave a letter of demands.

"While we submit a written letter with our demands, he has assured us that he will meanwhile speak internally. We are in that process..." Das said. "The minister assured us he will discuss this at the appropriate level. However, no commitments have been made so far. The peaceful protesters will not rest until the demand is met."

He also shared a copy of the letter on X. The CJP blamed the Union education minister as "directly responsible for multiple paper leaks, including NEET 2026, and other exam fiascos, most recently being CBSE 12th portal chaos and CUET exam delay."

"There has been no systemic corrections or action taken by Pradhan, indicating his gross incompetency as the education minister," the CJP said in the letter.

Earlier today, hundreds turned up at the high-security central Delhi area in a protest against the Union education minister. They also tried to march toward parliament. The police had to intervene, with prohibitory orders or a ban on large gatherings in effect since yesterday.

The protest is still going on. Sources said there was no forceful evacuation from central Delhi's Jantar Mantar and some reports claiming so were false.

The CJP, which appeared first on social media as a work of political satire, was set up by Abhijeet Dipke, a public relations graduate from Boston University. He has worked for the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) social media team.
