Cockroach Janta Party is now set to take its agitation to Pune on June 11

After drawing national attention with its protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, the Cockroach Janta Party is now set to take its agitation to Pune on June 11.

The party has announced a peaceful protest on the campus of Savitribai Phule Pune University at 4 pm on June 11, seeking the Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak and alleged irregularities in the CBSE examination process.

The announcement comes two days after the party, which originated as a satirical protest movement against the



establishment, warned that it would take its agitation nationwide if Pradhan does not step down.

“We are giving the government seven days. Either Dharmendra Pradhan should resign respectfully, or Prime Minister Narendra Modi should sack him. If his resignation does not come within seven days, this movement will spread across the country,” the party said on June 6.

Earlier in the day, party founder Abhijeet Dipke had urged Pradhan to resign by 5 pm, after which organisers announced a seven-day deadline for action by the minister or the government.
