Core members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will meet on August 5 in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, to decide the party’s next steps after a month-long agitation in Delhi related to the NEET paper leak. Multiple outlets report that activists, volunteers, and students are being asked to share feedback and suggestions ahead of the meeting. CJP members are also told to spend time with their families after the agitation before attending the August 5 deliberations. The meeting is reported to be held at CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke’s residence. After the gathering, the CJP plans to hold a press conference later on August 5 to announce decisions regarding its future course of action.

In the same period, Dipke is described as meeting students and locals at his residence. The reports also link the group’s earlier protests to broader support from young people, which is said to have contributed to the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Times of India also adds that Dipke urged the prime minister to withdraw cases against student protesters.
