Cockroach Janta Party’s 3 Demands Explained

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has made its position clear. Alongside peaceful protests at Jantar Mantar and the Sansad Chalo call, CJP leaders submitted a short list of demands to the Union government. This page explains those three demands in plain words, using CJP’s own statements and mainstream reporting — not rumours.

The three demands at a glance#

CJP spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka placed these points before Union Minister J.P. Nadda in a memorandum linked to the ongoing protest. Reporting from The Print, Times Now, and LatestLY matches this list.

Demand 1: Resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan#

What CJP is asking#

CJP’s core demand from day one has been the resignation or sacking of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. In the memorandum submitted to Nadda, CJP said youth believe Pradhan has failed as Education Minister and hold him responsible for multiple paper leaks — including NEET 2026 — and other exam-system failures such as CBSE portal problems and CUET delays.

Why this demand exists#

Students and protest organisers connect the demand to:

• Alleged NEET paper leak and loss of trust in competitive exams
• Repeated exam chaos that affects lakhs of aspirants every year
• The idea that accountability should start at the top of the education ministry

This is a political accountability demand, stated openly by CJP. It is not a rumour — it is written into their protest memo and repeated by spokespersons in public.

Demand 2: ₹1 crore compensation for families of students who died by suicide#

What CJP is asking#

CJP demands ₹1 crore compensation for each family of a NEET aspirant who died by suicide after the NEET paper leak controversy.

In its memorandum, CJP stated that — as per its own records — 21 students died by suicide following the NEET paper leak. The demand is framed as relief and justice for grieving families, not as a political talking point alone.

Why this demand exists#

Paper leaks destroy years of preparation. When aspirants lose hope, families carry the cost forever. CJP’s ₹1 crore figure is meant to force the state to treat student deaths as a matter of public responsibility, not private tragedy.

How we report this#

We report the demand as CJP states it. Exact counts of student deaths can differ across sources; CJP’s memorandum cites 21 as per their records. Readers should treat that figure as CJP’s stated count, and follow official investigations for legal determinations.

Demand 3: Immediate release of Sonam Wangchuk#

What CJP is asking#

CJP demands the immediate release of activist Sonam Wangchuk, with no prohibition on his movements, and that he be allowed to address people (including through a video message).

How Wangchuk became part of the protest#

Wangchuk joined the CJP-linked protest and began a hunger strike on 28 June 2026. As the strike continued into July, he became a central symbol of the movement’s call for government response. Authorities later shifted him from the protest site at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar amid health concerns. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and other organisers have publicly urged the government not to ignore his condition.

AP News and Indian outlets have covered Wangchuk’s hunger strike as a major focus of the CJP protest. CJP’s demand is simple and public: release him and let him speak.

Where these demands were submitted#

According to CJP spokespersons:

• Representatives waited at J.P. Nadda’s residence
• They met him after a long wait and submitted a written memorandum
• The three demands were listed clearly
• Nadda said he would discuss the matter with senior leadership and communicate a decision

CJP has said it will continue peaceful protest until there is a response. That is their stated position — again, not rumour.
