New Delhi: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) intensified its campaign against the alleged NEET paper leak and irregularities in the examination system with a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Saturday. Led by CJP founder Abhijit Dipke, the demonstration called for greater transparency in competitive examinations, accountability in the education system, and action against those responsible for alleged lapses.
The protest marks the latest in a series of demonstrations organised by the youth-led movement, which argues that controversies surrounding examinations such as NEET are not merely academic issues but directly impact the future of millions of young Indians.
Speaking at the protest, CJP spokesperson Saurabh Das dismissed suggestions that the movement was relying on support from opposition parties such as the Congress or the Samajwadi Party.

"Our objective is not to seek backing from any particular political party. We want support from the country's youth and citizens at large," Das said.
He emphasized that nearly 65 percent of India's population is young and that the movement aims to amplify their concerns regardless of political affiliation.
"Whether someone supports the BJP, Congress, AAP, or any other ideology, the issue affects every student and every young person. This is about their future," he added.
According to CJP leaders, the organisation has already conducted protests and outreach campaigns in multiple cities, including Pune, Lucknow, Amritsar, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Jaipur, and Nagpur. The Jantar Mantar gathering is being projected as part of a broader nationwide effort to push for reforms in the examination and education system.
The emergence of the Cockroach Janata Party has drawn national attention in recent weeks. The movement traces its origins to remarks made by Chief Justice Surya Kant during a hearing on May 15, which sparked widespread debate among sections of the youth.
The following day, May 16, Abhijit Dipke, an Indian student based in the United States, launched the CJP and established its presence across social media platforms. What began as an online campaign quickly evolved into a youth-led movement focused on unemployment, education reforms, and examination-related concerns.
On May 22, the organisation launched an online petition demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over concerns linked to the education system and examination management. CJP claims the campaign received support from hundreds of thousands of people, further expanding the movement's reach.
Since then, the group has consistently raised questions over the conduct of NEET and other competitive examinations.
CJP's rapid growth on social media has also become a talking point. The organisation claims to have attracted a large following across platforms such as Instagram and X, helping it mobilise students and young professionals across different parts of the country. However, varying figures regarding its exact follower count continue to circulate online.
The NEET examination controversy continues to fuel a nationwide debate on transparency, question paper security, evaluation systems, and fairness in the admission process. Student groups and activists have demanded stronger safeguards to protect the interests of candidates and restore confidence in the examination framework.
As protests continue at Jantar Mantar and elsewhere, attention remains focused on how the government, examination authorities, and education policymakers respond to the growing demands for reform.
