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.

Pressure is mounting on the Mamata Banerjee Government as protests over SSC Recruitment scam intensify. Supreme Court struck down the SSC recruitment process, calling it “tainted from start to finish’. 26,000 teachers have lost jobs in one of the largest recruitment scams in West Bengal’s history. Following the verdict, mass protests erupted outside Bikash Bhavan in Kolkata’s Salt Lake area. The protests turned violent as police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the crowd.
