We Will Not Stop: CJP Founder Threatens Nationwide Protests if Dharmendra Pradhan Refuses to Quit

Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has issued a sharp escalation warning, announcing that the party will stage protests across multiple states and cities if Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan does not resign by Saturday, June 13, 2026 .

Dipke made the announcement through a video post on X on Sunday night, fresh off what he called a largely successful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 6, where around 7,000 people participated. Protesters were seen wearing cockroach masks , which were distributed at the venue, as they demanded Pradhan's resignation over alleged irregularities in examinations and recruitment tests.

In his video, Dipke stated plainly, "If Pradhan won't resign, I will personally go to different cities and states and undertake protests with a demand for his resignation." He then outlined a clear escalation roadmap: if state-level protests still fail to move the needle, students from across the country will converge on New Delhi for a large-scale peaceful agitation in the capital.

Dipke, who flew in from the United States on Saturday morning and walked straight out of the airport carrying a copy of B R Ambedkar's autobiography , reached Jantar Mantar after receiving permission from Delhi Police. CJP spokespersons confirmed at a subsequent press conference that the party would give the Centre one week to either sack Pradhan or receive his voluntary resignation before going national.

"We will not stop till Pradhan doesn't resign. He should take moral responsibility for ruining the future of over one crore students," Dipke said, leaving no room for ambiguity about the movement's intent or its direction of travel.
