'Cockroaches Aa Rahe Hain': Abhijeet Dipke Reaches Delhi to Lead Jantar Mantar Protest Seeking Dharmendra Pradhan’s Resignation (Watch Video)

Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the youth-led online movement Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), arrived in the national capital on Saturday morning ahead of a scheduled demonstration at Jantar Mantar. Upon his arrival, Dipke issued an appeal to his supporters to maintain strict discipline and ensure the protest remains completely peaceful. The demonstration is aimed at demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan following recent controversies and alleged irregularities surrounding national-level examinations, including the NEET-UG, CUET, CBSE, and SSC GD.

Initially, the organizers had planned to gather supporters at the Parliament Street Police Station to coordinate permissions. However, the official X handle of the Cockroach Janta Party (@cjp_india) informed followers of an update regarding the venue authorization, confirming that they could head straight to the protest site, "Delhi Police has granted permission for the protest at Jantar Mantar. We can now assemble directly at Jantar Mantar, and no longer need to go to the Parliament Street Police Station, as originally planned. Cockroaches aa rahe hain, Dharmendra Pradhan jaa rahe hain," the official CJP handle posted.

Following this, Dipke used his personal X account to direct all attendees to the modified location. He said, "All cockroaches should come straight to Jantar Mantar, not Parliament Street Police Station. We will begin our peaceful protest at 10 AM."

Flying into Delhi from the United States, where he has been pursuing academic interests, Dipke emphasized that the movement must strictly adhere to constitutional and democratic principles. He urged attendees to counter any potential friction with symbolic gestures of peace. "Landed. Looking forward to meet you all at Jantar Mantar. Do not forget to carry a book and our Tiranga! Offer flowers to policemen as a gesture of compassion & gratitude. We have to lead this movement with love and peace!" Dipke wrote on X.

Renowned climate activist Sonam Wangchuk is also expected to join the demonstration in solidarity with the students. CJP spokespersons—Saurav Das, Vijeta Dahiya, and Ashutosh Ranka—reiterated these safety guidelines, urging participants to remain vigilant against any miscreants trying to disrupt the order. The Cockroach Janta Party began as a satirical digital campaign in May 2026 following a metaphor used during a court hearing, which the group subsequently adopted as a symbol of resilience and youth-led activism.
