"Subah ho gayi mamu," Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke exclaimed on Saturday, borrowing the iconic Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. catchphrase to take a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi moments after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced his resignation. The remark, delivered from the stage at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, was greeted with loud cheers as celebrations broke out, with Dipke hailing the Education Minister’s resignation as a "victory of democracy". Read Full Story Addressing hundreds of supporters gathered at the protest site, a visibly jubilant Dipke said Pradhan's resignation was achieved through sustained student protests over the NEET paper leak controversy. He said the development underscored the power of peaceful democratic mobilisation and public pressure. "This is democracy. He has resigned... Remember, do not mess with cockroaches," Dipke told CJP supporters before dropping to his knees in a visible display of joy and emotion as the crowd hugged each other and danced to the patriotic song 'Chak De! India'. "This resignation is proof that if you people are not afraid, if you people do not bow down to this government, then we can take the resignation of anyone," Dipke told the crowd. Taking a dig at PM Modi, Dipke said, “Narendra Modiji, democracy has dawned, mamu.
This is only the beginning, just the first wicket. The fight is far from over yet.” He added, “People used to say that this government never accepted resignations, but today we have shown that with enough determination, even the impossible can be made possible.” Protesters, led by the CJP, were seen hugging each other and dancing on stage to the patriotic song 'Chak De! India'. The CJP leader urged protesters to remain steadfast, stressing that the minister's departure was only one of the movement's objectives. According to Dipke, the agitation would continue until two additional demands were addressed by the government. "There's no need to be afraid. This is democracy. He has resigned, but we have two more demands. We won't go like this. Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. But the families of the children who committed suicide should receive compensation of one crore rupees. They should get it. One crore rupees compensation to all those families. And second, these police goons who acted on the 20th. Action must be taken against the police officers for that," he said. CJP spokespersons Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were also present at the Jantar Mantar protest site when news broke. Reacting to it, Ranka reiterated the party’s broader objective of reforming the education sector, saying the movement was aimed at “bettering the entire Indian education system”.
