A delegation from the Cockroach Janata Party met Union Minister JP Nadda on Monday to demand the removal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan [1].
The meeting occurs as protests intensify in Delhi over an alleged leak of the NEET-UG examination paper. This development highlights the growing political pressure on the government to address systemic failures in national testing and administrative accountability.
The CJP delegation visited Nadda at his residence in Delhi to convey their grievances [1]. The party is calling for the immediate resignation or removal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in response to the examination controversy [2].
While the delegation presented its demands, the meeting did not result in an immediate resolution. A spokesperson for the CJP delegation said it conveyed its key demands, including the immediate resignation or removal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, but added that no assurance had yet been given [1].
Parallel to the diplomatic meeting, broader protests have been unfolding across the city. Demonstrators gathered at Jantar Mantar and began moving toward Parliament to voice their opposition to the paper leak [3].
Amidst the unrest, there were reports regarding the status of party leadership. A spokesperson for the CJP said, "CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Not Detained Or Arrested" [3].
The party continues to push for a formal response from the government regarding the integrity of the NEET-UG process. Despite the meeting with Nadda, officials report that no commitments have been made so far regarding the minister's position [2].
“"The delegation said it conveyed its key demands... but added that no assurance had yet been given."”
The demand for a cabinet-level resignation indicates that the NEET-UG paper-leak controversy has evolved from a student grievance into a targeted political campaign. By engaging directly with JP Nadda, the CJP is attempting to leverage high-level party channels to force a change in leadership at the Ministry of Education, signaling that the public trust in the current examination administration may be critically low.
