Open to Dialogue with Govt, Opposition; CBSE Transfers ‘Eyewash’: Cockroach Janata Party Holds First Press Conference
The newly formed party said it will seek permission for a Jantar Mantar demonstration and is open to talks as it presses for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
- On Saturday, June 6, the Cockroach Janta Party plans a protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over recent NEET and CBSE testing controversies.

- Addressing questions about alleged Aam Aadmi Party ties, Ranka stated that 'past affiliation is not important,' urging the public to focus on the movement's broader fight against a 'culture of non-accountability' in education.
