Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has escalated his campaign against Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, telling Prime Minister Narendra Modi that a public demand for the PM’s own resignation could be the next step if the government continues to back the minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Dipke Said<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to reporters, the Boston University graduate said that if Pradhan is not removed from office, the next demand from CJP would target the prime minister himself. Dipke, who has repeatedly called Pradhan an “incompetent and failed minister,” argued that the government’s continued silence has left the issue no longer confined to Pradhan alone \u2014 he claims it now reflects on the credibility of the Modi government as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In earlier remarks, Dipke said that if the government stays “adamant” about not accepting Pradhan’s resignation, the fallout will not stop with the minister. He has framed the standoff as a matter of accountability to India’s students, saying it would be “shameful” for the government to keep protecting a minister he believes has failed on that front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why CJP Wants Pradhan Removed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Dipke, Pradhan’s tenure has been marked by decisions that have hurt the interests of students across the country. CJP has framed its campaign as being fought on students’ behalf, and has called for nationwide peaceful protests demanding Pradhan’s resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government Response So Far<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reports indicate the government has so far shown little inclination to act on the demand. Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is said to have described the government as ready for talks with CJP, though he reportedly ruled out any change in ministerial position on the matter. There are also reports that CJP office-bearers have met with officials at the Centre, and that the party is planning further demonstrations, including at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
