A day after the Centre accepted key demands of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned over the NEET paper leak controversy, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke shared an emotional video message, calling the movement's success "just the beginning" while thanking supporters who stood by the protest for 37 days.
In a video posted on his X account on Sunday morning, the 30-year-old activist reflected on the intense weeks of demonstrations, saying he was finally able to wake up without the uncertainty that had defined the movement.
"I could go to sleep and wake up in my bedroom without thinking about what to do next or what will happen till evening."
Dipke described the 37-day protest as "really, really difficult", adding that he finally felt a sense of calm.
"There is no panic."
Thanks supporters, apologises for missing final gathering
Dipke said he was unable to personally thank everyone at Jantar Mantar after the protest ended because he was suffering from typhoid and had a high fever.
"All the people who were waiting for Jantar Mantar for 37 days, I want to thank each and every one of you. And I want to tell you that I really, really, really appreciate what you did for this country."
He also acknowledged those who criticised the movement, saying constructive criticism helped strengthen the campaign.
"I think that's why we were able to deliver as well."
'Long way to go'
Concluding his message, Dipke said the end of the protest did not mark the end of the movement.
"This is just the beginning. The Cockroach Janata Party has a long way to go."
The CJP, founded by Dipke in May as a satirical political movement, evolved into a nationwide youth-led campaign over the NEET paper leak issue. The protest concluded after the government accepted several of the group's demands, Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union Education Minister, and authorities assured that no action would be taken against the protesters.
