CJP has made it clear that its protest is far from over. Despite holding its first official talks with the Centre, party leaders said the agitation will continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is removed from office. The group is demanding accountability over the alleged NEET paper leak, justice for affected students, and action on its broader education reform demands. Here's what happened after the government meeting and why CJP says it will not end its protest yet.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan visited the National Testing Agency (NTA) headquarters and reviewed preparations for the upcoming NEET re-examination scheduled for June 21. Addressing concerns among aspirants, Pradhan assured students that authorities are working to ensure a smooth and error-free examination process. He urged candidates to focus on their studies and leave exam-related arrangements to the government and NTA. The visit comes amid heightened scrutiny of national entrance examinations and efforts to restore confidence among students and parents ahead of the re-test.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by Abhijeet Dipke, held a major protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The demonstration marks one of the movement's biggest street mobilizations, transforming online outrage into a physical show of strength. Protesters raised slogans over alleged exam paper leaks, concerns surrounding NEET and CBSE, and broader issues affecting students across the country. CJP leaders accused the government of failing to protect the future of millions of young Indians and called for greater accountability in the education system. The protest comes amid growing youth dissatisfaction over examination controversies, marking disputes, and transparency concerns. With social media support translating into on-ground action, the movement has intensified pressure on policymakers and brought renewed attention to education governance in India.
