After CJP’s 7-day warning, will Dharmendra Pradhan step down or face a renewed protest wave?

New Delhi: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has intensified its campaign against alleged irregularities in examinations and recruitment tests, warning the government that it will launch fresh protests across the country if Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is not removed from office or does not resign within the next seven days.

The announcement came after hundreds of students, young professionals, and supporters gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi under the banner of the youth-led movement. Protesters demanded accountability and transparency in the conduct of examinations and recruitment processes, raising concerns over alleged lapses that have impacted thousands of aspirants.

Addressing reporters after the demonstration, CJP spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka thanked participants for what they described as a peaceful and disciplined protest. They reiterated the party's demand for Pradhan's resignation, alleging that the government has failed to adequately address concerns surrounding examination and recruitment-related controversies.

In a statement posted on the party's official X handle, CJP said it would escalate its agitation if its demands remain unmet.

"CJP calls for fresh protests if the government doesn't sack Dharmendra Pradhan within the next seven days," the party said in its social media post.
