The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has launched an online petition urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to devote his August 15 Independence Day speech to India's youth. Party founder Abhijeet Dipke said the PM should outline the government's roadmap on education, unemployment, and rising costs. The CJP first gained attention during protests over the NEET paper leak and has now expanded its 'Kya Bolti Public' campaign to focus on education reform, joblessness, and institutional accountability. Dipke called the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan the 'biggest achievement' of the student agitation. The CJP says it has no immediate plans to enter electoral politics and will instead work as a pressure group. It plans to form state and local units over the next six months and launch a membership drive for students and young professionals.
