From satirical page to Pradhan's resignation: Cockroach Janta Party's timeline

Protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar continue to rage amid rising public anger over lack of accountability. While the Cockroach Janta Party has issued a fresh warning to the Narendra Modi-led government, activist Sonam Wangchuk has put forth a condition for ending his hunger strike, which has entered day 25.&nbsp;A few hours earlier, CJP claimed that it had turned down Union health minister JP Nadda’s invitation for fresh talks at his residence.&nbsp;While it proposed a meeting at the protest site or a neutral venue near Jantar Mantar, the government is yet to respond. CJP also warned that millions more will join the protests if their demands are not accepted.&nbsp;Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said, “We have said this very clearly, what happened on the 20th was a trailer. If the government doesn’t agree, millions more will come to Delhi because this time we will not hold back and stay silent.”&nbsp;The CJP has been seeking Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over students ending their lives allegedly due to the cancellation of the NEET-UG exam conducted on May 3 due to a large-scale paper leak.&nbsp;They have also sought a compensation of one crore rupees for the kin of these deceased students.&nbsp;What started as a students’ protest, though, has now gained a political dimension.&nbsp;A day earlier, leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders were forcibly removed and detained by the police after they staged a dharna outside PM Narendra Modi’s residence.&nbsp;The Congress leader followed it up with a press conference today, claiming that 152 paper leaks have taken place over the last years with no convictions. Gandhi stated that 7.5 crore students and their families have been affected by this. On this occasion, he also reiterated the key demands of the protesters.&nbsp;Meanwhile, activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was admitted to Gurugram’s Medanta Hospital last evening, revealed that he lost 11 kilogrammes so far.&nbsp;He agreed to call off his fast today itself if the government provides an unequivocal assurance that none of the young protesters will face any legal action for participating in this movement.&nbsp;In a letter addressed to Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, who visited him at the hospital, the activist claimed that the government was considering paying adequate compensation for the deceased NEET applicants and holding a meaningful discussion in parliament.&nbsp;More drama unfolded, though, as the police prevented a delegation of MPs from opposition parties, including AAP and Samajwadi Party, from meeting Wangchuk at the Medanta Hospital.&nbsp;Earlier in the day, Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju reiterated the government’s willingness to have a discussion on the issue.&nbsp;While opposition parties upped the ante, with many leaders arriving at the parliament dressed in black to protest the injuries inflicted upon protesters, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh accused them of misleading the youth.&nbsp;In retaliation for Rahul Gandhi’s dharna outside PM Modi’s residence, BJP workers demonstrated in front of state Congress headquarters.&nbsp;During one such protest in Patna, workers of BJP and Congress came to blows.&nbsp;Congress also protested over Rahul Gandhi’s brief detention, but the controversy over the alleged use of brute force by the Delhi police against protesters during the July 20 march to parliament refuses to die down.&nbsp;Hearing a bunch of public interest litigations regarding this, the Delhi High Court ordered Delhi Police to preserve the relevant CCTV footage and videos.&nbsp;It also issued a notice to the police and the centre, and asked them to file their counter-affidavits within a period of four weeks.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has been seeking Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over students ending their lives allegedly due to the cancellation of the NEET-UG exam conducted on May 3 due to a large-scale paper leak.

Protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar continue to rage amid rising public anger over lack of accountability. While the Cockroach Janta Party has issued a fresh warning to the Narendra Modi-led government, activist Sonam Wangchuk has put forth a condition for ending his hunger strike, which has entered day 25. A few hours earlier, CJP claimed that it had turned down Union health minister JP Nadda’s invitation for fresh talks at his residence. While it proposed a meeting at the protest site or a neutral venue near Jantar Mantar, the government is yet to respond. CJP also warned that millions more will join the protests if their demands are not accepted. Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said, “We have said this very clearly, what happened on the 20th was a trailer. If the government doesn’t agree, millions more will come to Delhi because this time we will not hold back and stay silent.” The CJP has been seeking Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over students ending their lives allegedly due to the cancellation of the NEET-UG exam conducted on May 3 due to a large-scale paper leak. They have also sought a compensation of one crore rupees for the kin of these deceased students. What started as a students’ protest, though, has now gained a political dimension. A day earlier, leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders were forcibly removed and detained by the police after they staged a dharna outside PM Narendra Modi’s residence. The Congress leader followed it up with a press conference today, claiming that 152 paper leaks have taken place over the last years with no convictions. Gandhi stated that 7.5 crore students and their families have been affected by this. On this occasion, he also reiterated the key demands of the protesters. Meanwhile, activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was admitted to Gurugram’s Medanta Hospital last evening, revealed that he lost 11 kilogrammes so far. He agreed to call off his fast today itself if the government provides an unequivocal assurance that none of the young protesters will face any legal action for participating in this movement. In a letter addressed to Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, who visited him at the hospital, the activist claimed that the government was considering paying adequate compensation for the deceased NEET applicants and holding a meaningful discussion in parliament. More drama unfolded, though, as the police prevented a delegation of MPs from opposition parties, including AAP and Samajwadi Party, from meeting Wangchuk at the Medanta Hospital. Earlier in the day, Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju reiterated the government’s willingness to have a discussion on the issue. While opposition parties upped the ante, with many leaders arriving at the parliament dressed in black to protest the injuries inflicted upon protesters, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh accused them of misleading the youth. In retaliation for Rahul Gandhi’s dharna outside PM Modi’s residence, BJP workers demonstrated in front of state Congress headquarters. During one such protest in Patna, workers of BJP and Congress came to blows. Congress also protested over Rahul Gandhi’s brief detention, but the controversy over the alleged use of brute force by the Delhi police against protesters during the July 20 march to parliament refuses to die down. Hearing a bunch of public interest litigations regarding this, the Delhi High Court ordered Delhi Police to preserve the relevant CCTV footage and videos. It also issued a notice to the police and the centre, and asked them to file their counter-affidavits within a period of four weeks. The matter will be heard next on September 11. With some people raising questions over the nature of the ongoing protests, it raises a fundamental question - What is the constitutional position on protests in India? As per Article 19, citizens have the right to assemble peacefully without carrying arms. There is a caveat though. The government can impose ‘reasonable restrictions’ on protests under the garb of sovereignty, public order, decency or morality. To undertake any protest, the organisers need to obtain a no-objection certificate from the police station. While the authorities closed 17 Delhi Metro stations owing to the security situation, it appears that the clampdown is fuelling more support for CJP’s agitation. For instance, strangers from across the country sent so many meals to protesters at Jantar Mantar on Tuesday that the organisers eventually issued an appeal asking them to stop ordering more. While the BJP has accused the opposition of politicising the protests, another question arises: Can politics and governance be really separated? At the same time, it is also incumbent on the opposition to go beyond protests and insist on a fruitful debate on this issue on the floor of the parliament, as constructive solutions are the need of the hour.

‘Millions will join protests,’ warns CPJ; Sonam Wanchuk sets condition to end fast | Gravitas

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) removed its spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya from the post on Tuesday (July 21, 2026) a day after Delhi Police used force against protesters marching towards Parliament. The party took the action over what it described as "deeply insensitive actions" after a video of Dahiya surfaced on social media during the CJP's Parliament march on Monday.&nbsp;In a post on X, the CJP called Dahiya's conduct "unacceptable" and said it showed a "complete lack of judgment" that was inconsistent with the movement while protesters faced "brutal police violence."&nbsp;"We strongly condemn the deeply insensitive actions of our spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya, whose videos surfaced while peaceful protestors and our team were facing brutal police violence. Such conduct is unacceptable, shows a complete lack of judgment, and is wholly inconsistent with the values and principles of our movement," the CJP said.&nbsp;"In response, we are removing Vijeta Dahiya as spokesperson of the Cockroach Janta Party and relieving him of all the official duties," it added.

The decision followed a controversy over a viral video that allegedly showed Dahiya eating a burger while CJP protesters took part in the Parliament march and faced police action.

This is a big issue today. So why does anyone eat a burger? He is hungry. He wants to eat a burger. That's it. So I was also very hungry. And when you eat something good, your mind feels good," he said.&nbsp;In the same video, Dahiya questioned why people objected to a protester eating a burger while ignoring those who were not involved in any public cause.&nbsp;“Those who are talking nonsense, they are sitting at home and talking nonsense. Okay, so let me tell you one thing. A person who is just eating and drinking, he has no interest in social issues. He has no interest in any politics. You don't have a problem with him eating a burger, but a person eating a burger, even if he is a protester, is talking about the issues of the country, you have a problem eating his burger."&nbsp;Dahiya further said critics were overlooking the physical and mental strain faced by protesters.&nbsp;"What people don't see is that I haven't slept for two nights. Neither have those who are part of the protest," he said, arguing that protesters should not face criticism for taking a break to eat during the agitation.

As thousands gathered at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar and began marching towards the Parliament of India as per the scheduled “Sansad Chalo” march by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), several videos from the location surfaced that showed Delhi Police using force against the protesters, even as they denied it.

In 2011, Arvind Kejriwal stood at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and helped organise a hunger strike that changed Indian politics forever. Fifteen years later, a 30-year-old from Aurangabad, who once managed digital campaigns for Kejriwal's own party, is standing at the same Jantar Mantar, using the same tactics, and the comparisons are no longer deniable.
