CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke met with BJP leader Nadda on Monday amid the ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest in Delhi [1].
The demonstration centers on alleged irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Protesters are demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, making the event a significant challenge to the ministry's current leadership [2].
Thousands of CJP supporters attempted to march through the city toward the Parliament House complex and Jantar Mantar [3]. The scale of the mobilization has created significant disruption in the capital's central districts [3].
While Dipke met with Nadda, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan held a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah [4]. The timing of these high-level meetings coincided with the height of the street protests [4].
Reports regarding the status of CJP leadership remained conflicted during the day. The New Indian Express reported that police detained Dipke [1]. However, a CJP spokesperson later said Dipke was not in detention, despite previous claims that he had been picked up by police [5].
The ‘Chalo Sansad’ movement seeks to bring national attention to the transparency of medical entrance examinations. The protesters maintain that the current administration has failed to address systemic flaws in the testing process [2].

The intersection of street protests and high-level political meetings suggests a government effort to manage the crisis through both security measures and political negotiation. The conflicting reports on Dipke's detention highlight the volatile nature of the confrontation between the CJP and Delhi law enforcement.
