Cockroach Janta Party's nationwide campaign gathered momentum in Pune as hundreds of students and supporters joined founder Abhijeet Dipke at Savitribai Phule Pune University. Amid chants of "I Am Cockroach", Dipke expanded his agitation against alleged examination irregularities and reiterated his demand for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. During the rally, Dipke urged young people to stay away from Hindu-Muslim politics and instead focus on issues such as education, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, clean energy and employment. He argued that India risks falling behind while the rest of the world races ahead in technology and innovation.

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has announced plans to expand his movement nationwide following what he described as a successful protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Dipke claimed that thousands attended the demonstration and reiterated that the campaign would continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. He also issued a seven-day warning, stating that the agitation would intensify if action is not taken. The movement, which initially gained traction online, has focused on alleged irregularities in examinations and recruitment processes, including NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSC-related controversies.
