The Cockroach Janta Party staged a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Sunday, June 30, 2026 [2], over alleged NEET exam irregularities [1].
The demonstration highlights growing public frustration regarding the integrity of national medical entrance exams and the perceived lack of government accountability.
Led by Abhijeet Dipke, the group focused its demands on the removal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan [1]. The protesters alleged that a question paper for the NEET exam was leaked, compromising the fairness of the testing process [1]. Dipke said, "Sack Pradhan or become most incompetent PM in history" [1].
This event marked Dipke's second protest at Jantar Mantar [2]. To mobilize supporters, Dipke requested that participants join the movement at nine a.m. and asked them to bring plates and spoons [2]. He said the movement would not be successful without public support [2].
The protest coincided with the 2026 Parliament Monsoon Session [3]. The political timing underscores the pressure on the administration to address educational transparency while the legislature is in session [3].
Other activists have joined the call for accountability. Sonam Wangchuk said the movement would escalate if the government fails to meet their demands. "We will start a hunger strike if our demands are not met," Wangchuk said [2].
The group continues to hold their position at the site, maintaining a presence to ensure the issue remains a priority for the central government [2].
“"Sack Pradhan or become most incompetent PM in history."”
The intersection of grassroots protests and the Parliament Monsoon Session suggests an attempt to force the NEET leak allegations into the legislative record. By targeting the Education Minister specifically, the Cockroach Janta Party is attempting to create a focal point for accountability that could pressure the Prime Minister to make administrative changes to preserve the government's reputation for meritocracy.
