The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) entered the second day of its two-day core committee meeting on Thursday, with founder Abhijeet Dipke scheduled to address a press conference at 2 pm to announce the organisation's future strategy after its 36-day Jantar Mantar protest.

The meeting is focused on reviewing the Delhi agitation, expanding the organisation nationwide and chalking out future campaigns on issues including unemployment, inflation, education reforms, the alleged NEET paper leak and the Centre's ethanol-blended fuel policy.

Focus on Nationwide Expansion

Senior members of the organisation are deliberating on strengthening the group's presence across states and coordinating future public movements.

According to party leaders, the discussions are centred on transforming the momentum generated during the Jantar Mantar protest into a sustained nationwide campaign while continuing to function as a public pressure group.

Thirteen core committee members, including founder Abhijeet Dipke and student leader Saurav Das, are participating in the meeting.

No Plans to Contest Elections

Addressing the media on the opening day of the meeting, Dipke ruled out the possibility of entering electoral politics in the near future.

He said the country does not currently need another political party but rather a strong citizens' pressure group capable of compelling governments to address public concerns.

Dipke stated that the success of the Jantar Mantar movement was rooted in the participation of people from different ideological backgrounds who united over common issues affecting students and youth.

He added that the organisation intends to continue raising concerns related to education, examination reforms, E20 petrol, unemployment and governance through democratic public movements.

Review of Jantar Mantar Protest

The meeting is also reviewing the organisation's month-long agitation at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

The protest began on June 20 and continued for 36 days before concluding on July 25. Thousands of students, parents and young people from different states participated in the movement.

Environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk also joined the protest and observed a hunger strike in support of the students' demands.

On July 20, the organisation led a march towards Parliament, during which police action against protesters became a major political issue.

Five days later, after the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, CJP announced the suspension of its protest.

Movement Began as Online Campaign

The Cockroach Janta Party traces its origins to a social media campaign launched after remarks made by Chief Justice of India Justice Suryakant during a Supreme Court hearing triggered widespread debate online.

Abhijeet Dipke, an Indian student based in the United States, started the campaign using the name "Cockroach Janta Party" as a satirical protest.

What began as an online movement soon attracted support from students across the country and gradually evolved into an organised youth campaign.

The organisation later expanded its agenda by raising concerns over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak, examination reforms and broader education-related issues.

Press Conference Expected to Outline Future Plans

Dipke is expected to announce the decisions taken during the core committee meeting at Thursday afternoon's press conference.

The organisation is likely to unveil its roadmap for future nationwide campaigns and explain how it plans to continue mobilising students and young people without formally entering electoral politics.
