CJP to Launch Nationwide ‘Kya Bolti Public’ Campaign From September, Says Abhijeet Dipke

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will launch a nationwide public outreach campaign titled ‘Kya Bolti Public’ from September, marking its first major initiative since the student-led movement over alleged examination irregularities that culminated in the resignation of former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Announcing the decision after a two-day core committee meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said the organisation would function as a public pressure group rather than enter electoral politics for now.

‘Kya Bolti Public’ Campaign to Begin Across India

The campaign aims to take CJP volunteers into towns and cities across the country to directly engage with citizens and document issues affecting their daily lives.

According to Dipke, the initiative is designed to build a stronger grassroots network by listening to people's concerns rather than limiting the organisation to protests. Students, young professionals and members of the public will also be able to join the movement through CJP's membership drive, which will run alongside the outreach campaign.

CJP Rules Out Electoral Politics

Despite growing speculation about its political ambitions after the success of its anti-paper leak movement, Dipke said CJP has no immediate plans to contest elections.

He said the organisation intends to remain a citizens' platform that exerts pressure on governments and public institutions instead of transforming into a conventional political party.

The decision was taken during the core committee meeting held at Dipke's residence, where members discussed the movement's future roadmap following its nationwide visibility over education-related protests.

Focus on Public Issues Beyond Education

Dipke said the campaign would address a broader range of public concerns beyond examination reforms.

Among the issues identified by the organisation are unemployment, rising fees in private educational institutions, the need to strengthen government schools and colleges, and what CJP describes as declining public trust in democratic institutions.

The organisation said feedback gathered during the campaign would help shape its future interventions and policy demands.

Movement Expands After High-Profile Student Protests

CJP shot to national prominence after leading sustained protests over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, particularly the NEET controversy. The agitation eventually led to the resignation of former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and positioned the youth-led organisation as a significant pressure group on education-related issues.

Since then, the organisation has repeatedly maintained that it is focused on institutional accountability rather than electoral success. Dipke has previously said the movement would continue expanding across states while remaining committed to peaceful public engagement.

Nationwide Membership Drive Also Announced

Alongside the outreach programme, CJP has launched a nationwide membership drive inviting citizens to become part of the organisation.

The leadership believes expanding its volunteer base will strengthen its ability to represent public concerns and build a larger network capable of influencing policy discussions at the national level.
