A delegation from the Cockroach Janata Party youth group met Union Minister JP Nadda to demand the resignation of Minister Dharmendra Pradhan [1].
The meeting follows escalating tensions over allegations of a NEET exam paper leak. The CJP holds Pradhan responsible for the controversy, which has sparked widespread student unrest and calls for government accountability.
The delegation included spokesperson Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka [1]. Before the meeting, the group led a protest march that began at Jantar Mantar and proceeded toward the Parliament building [2]. The demonstration resulted in clashes and a lathi charge as protesters attempted to reach the seat of government [2].
Following the unrest, the CJP leaders were received at the residence of Union Minister JP Nadda in Delhi [2]. The delegation submitted a formal memorandum of demands to Nadda during a meeting that lasted 10 minutes [3].
The memorandum specifically calls for the ouster of Dharmendra Pradhan in response to the leak row [1]. The CJP youth group said that the integrity of the examination process was compromised, necessitating a change in leadership within the ministry.
Delhi police had previously intervened during the march to Parliament to prevent protesters from breaching security perimeters [2]. Despite the physical confrontations during the protest, the meeting at Nadda's home served as the primary channel for the delegation to deliver its grievances to the central leadership [2].
“The delegation demanded the resignation of Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.”
The confrontation between the CJP youth wing and the central government underscores the volatility of the NEET leak controversy. By escalating from a street protest to a direct meeting with a Union Minister, the CJP is attempting to transform a public health and education crisis into a political liability for the current administration.
