The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) held a protest at Jantar Mantar, Delhi, on Saturday against the NEET 2026 paper leak and issues with the CBSE's On-Screen Marking system. Founded by Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old political communications strategist, the CJP started as a satirical movement but quickly gained popularity, attracting millions of followers by May 2026. The movement's name stems from comments made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who compared unemployed youth to cockroaches, a remark he later clarified was aimed at those with fake degrees. The CJP's core demands include judicial reforms, such as barring former Chief Justices from Rajya Sabha appointments, electoral accountability, a 50% reservation for women in Parliament, and anti-defection measures imposing a 20-year ban on defecting politicians. The movement has received endorsements from prominent political figures, including Akhilesh Yadav and Mahua Moitra, and has appointed three spokespersons to advocate for its objectives.
