NEW DELHI | July 25, 2026 | CJP Demands – The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has refused to end its nationwide protest despite the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, with founder Abhijeet Dipke announcing that the movement will continue until the government’s remaining demands are met.
Addressing supporters at Jantar Mantar shortly after the resignation was announced, Dipke described the minister’s exit as a “victory for democracy” but said it represented only the first step toward comprehensive education reforms and justice for affected students.
CJP Announces Two Fresh Demands
Following Pradhan’s resignation, the CJP outlined two key demands that it says must now be addressed by the Centre.
₹1 Crore Compensation for Families
The party has demanded ₹1 crore compensation for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide following the NEET-UG paper leak controversy and the uncertainty surrounding the examination process.
Action Against Police Officials
The second major demand is action against police personnel accused of using excessive force during the July 20 protests in New Delhi. Dipke alleged that baton charges against peaceful demonstrators injured several students and called for disciplinary action against the officers responsible.
“We Will Not Leave Like This”
Speaking before hundreds of supporters at Jantar Mantar, Dipke declared that the agitation was far from over. According to CJP leaders, the resignation proves that sustained peaceful protests can bring political accountability, but they insist the movement will continue until all outstanding demands are fulfilled.
Celebrations at Jantar Mantar
News of the Education Minister’s resignation triggered celebrations at the protest site. Supporters waved the national flag, distributed sweets, and chanted slogans in support of student unity. Several opposition leaders also described the resignation as a significant political development resulting from sustained public pressure.
Dharmendra Pradhan Resigned Earlier on Saturday after CJP Demands
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after weeks of nationwide protests linked to the alleged NEET-UG paper leak. In his resignation statement, Pradhan said his decision was intended to prevent the education crisis from being exploited by anti-national elements and to allow students to focus on their future.
Government Yet to Respond to Fresh Demands
While the Centre has already introduced tougher anti-paper leak measures and agreed to discussions with protest representatives, there has been no official announcement regarding the new compensation and police action demands raised by the CJP. Reports indicate that government representatives remain open to further dialogue, although no timeline has been announced for the next round of talks.
NEET Protest Continues
The ongoing demonstrations have become one of India’s largest student-led movements in recent years, drawing participation from students, youth organisations, civil society groups, and education activists. With the resignation of the Education Minister now complete, attention has shifted toward broader institutional reforms, accountability for examination irregularities, and long-term improvements to India’s competitive examination system.
Conclusion
Although Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation marks a major milestone for the CJP-led agitation, the protest movement shows no signs of ending. Abhijeet Dipke has made it clear that the campaign will continue until the government addresses demands for compensation to affected families and action against officials accused of police excesses during the demonstrations.
