Days after the Cockroach Janata Party's website and social media were taken down, Dipke announced, "Cockroaches survive everything; the CJP movement will be no different." He added that the movement aims to collect one million signatures demanding the removal of Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing him of mishandling the education and examination system.

'What is wrong...': Anna Hazare breaks silence on Sonam Wangchuk's protest, makes an appeal to Centre
The satirical protest movement, which has gained traction online in recent days, wants Pradhan sacked over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy.
"The education system is compromised. From the tragic loss of students who died by suicide to the millions of futures broken by a decade of paper leaks, this failure cannot go ignored. There must be consequences," reads the petition page on the CJP website.
This year's NEET UG exam was cancelled on May 12 following allegations of a coordinated paper leak. The exam, conducted on May 3 across 551 cities in India and 14 cities abroad, saw participation from over 22 lakh candidates. A reexamination is scheduled for June 21. According to reports, at least 14 NEET-linked students have committed suicide so far over the paper leak controversy.
