Union Ministers JP Nadda and Dr. Jitendra Singh met with leaders of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) to discuss demands regarding an alleged NEET paper-leak.
The meeting represents a high-level attempt to resolve weeks of unrest among students and activists who allege systemic failures in the national medical entrance examination. The resolution of these demands is critical to restoring trust in the country's competitive testing infrastructure.
The talks occurred on Tuesday at 12 p.m. [2]. CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka attended the session to present the party's key requirements following a prolonged period of public demonstrations. These protests had reached day 32 [1] by the time the ministers intervened.
Reports on the location of the meeting vary. One source identified the Constitution Club of India as the site of the discussions [3]. However, CJP representatives said that the meeting would take place at Jantar Mantar or another neutral venue [1].
The CJP has maintained a consistent platform of protest, citing the need for transparency, and accountability in the wake of the leak allegations. The ministers sought to address these grievances to prevent further escalation of the demonstrations.
Government officials have not yet released a formal joint statement detailing the specific outcomes of the Tuesday meeting. The CJP leaders said that the dialogue is part of an ongoing process to ensure the integrity of the examination system.

The engagement of senior Union Ministers suggests the government views the NEET paper-leak controversy as a significant political and social liability. By negotiating with the CJP, the administration is attempting to pivot from a posture of denial or investigation toward a managed resolution to end the street protests.
