Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the satirical political campaign Cockroach Janta Party, has announced that he will return to India from the United States on June 6 to organise a peaceful protest in Delhi demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.Dipke, who previously worked with the Aam Aadmi Party’s social media team and now lives in the US, said the protest will be held at Jantar Mantar.He also plans to visit the Parliament Street police station upon arrival to seek official permission for the demonstration.

The demand for resignation comes amid widespread concerns raised by students and job seekers over alleged irregularities in major examinations, including the cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for undergraduate medical admissions following paper leak allegations.

There have also been reported concerns about irregularities in the Class 12 examinations conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education and recruitment tests conducted by the Staff Selection Commission.Dipke has argued that these repeated issues have severely affected students’ futures and created widespread anxiety.

He stated that the education system has “reduced the lives of over a crore students to a joke” and criticised the lack of accountability in the system.

The Cockroach Janta Party campaign, which began on May 16 as a youth-driven satirical movement, has gained significant traction online, reportedly amassing millions of followers on social media platforms.

The movement initially emerged in response to controversial remarks attributed to Chief Justice Surya Kant regarding unemployed youth, which were later clarified as being misinterpreted.

The campaign’s social media accounts were briefly blocked in May following a legal demand, and the Delhi High Court subsequently refused to immediately restore them.

Despite this, Dipke has continued to mobilise support, calling for a peaceful and constitutional protest highlighting student grievances and demanding ministerial accountability.
