The Cockroach Janta Party will function as a pressure group for now, as that is what India needs at the moment, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the CJP’s core team meeting in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Dipke said the discussions will focus on the dwindling trust of people in institutions like the media and judiciary.
The meeting will also take up issues like ethanol-blended fuel and rising unemployment, he said. “For now, CJP will be a pressure group, as what India needs now is a pressure group,” Dipke asserted.
Sonam Wangchuk will continue to mentor CJP
CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said activist Sonam Wangchuk will continue to be their mentor and they will seek advice from him.
Das further said they will push for withdrawal of FIRs against students who took part in the recent protests led by the CJP against the NEET paper leak and other exam irregularities.
The movement, which received an enthusiastic response from Gen Z across the country, led to Pradhan’s resignation last week.
The CJP’s movement spread across various cities in the country, but demonstrations turned violent, with the police cracking down on student agitators in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and in Bihar, registering cases against them.
