CJP to release education manifesto, demands Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is set to launch a nationwide protest campaign over alleged examination irregularities, with its founder Abhijeet Dipke announcing the release of an education manifesto and a series of demonstrations across the country.

The campaign begins on Thursday from the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) campus and is expected to travel through several cities before concluding at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 20. Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk is also expected to participate in the peaceful protest scheduled for the evening.

Addressing a press conference in Pune, Dipke said the organisation would release its education manifesto alongside the



launch of the movement.

"We are starting our nationwide protest from today at the SSPU. The protest will be peaceful and within the framework of the Constitution. Today, we will be releasing our education manifesto," he said.

According to Dipke, the document focusses on key concerns raised by students in recent years.

"The manifesto focuses on preventing question paper leaks, ensuring timely declaration of examination results, improving transparency in recruitment and entrance examinations, strengthening accountability of examination authorities, and addressing issues faced by students due to delays and irregularities in the conduct of examinations," he said.
