CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke diagnosed with typhoid, vows protests against Dharmendra Pradhan will continue
Dipke said the protest will continue until the government answers demands for exam reforms, compensation and accountability after 36 days of agitation.
- On Saturday, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned following months of sustained nationwide protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party and founder Abhijeet Dipke demanding accountability over alleged NEET-UG examination irregularities.
- The CJP emerged after Chief Justice Surya Kant referred to unemployed youth as "cockroaches" during a May 2026 Supreme Court hearing; the satirical platform evolved into a mass movement over alleged irregularities in the May 3 NEET-UG medical entrance examination.
- Tensions peaked during the July 20 "Chalo Sansad" march, which faced a police lathi charge; Dipke disclosed on Saturday he has been diagnosed with typhoid and receives daily IV drips but vowed the movement will persist.
- Following government assurances on FIR withdrawals and compensation for families of students who died by suicide, the CJP officially withdrew its 37-day agitation at Jantar Mantar, with spokesperson Saurav Das confirming the terms would be executed in "good faith."
- Activist Sonam Wangchuk's 26-day hunger strike elevated the movement into national conversation on examination integrity, positioning the CJP as a significant voice advocating for systemic reforms in India's competitive testing system beyond Pradhan's resignation.
