(Photo: PTI file) Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday declared support for protesting students in Jharkhand, stating that the youth movement will go to Ranchi to stand with the agitation. Dipke, who led a CJP’s core team meeting in his hometown Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra, said that the CJP will operate as a “pressure group" to demand institutional accountability. Dipke said the CJP members will travel to Jharkhand to back job aspirants, who have been staging an indefinite sit-in at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in Ranchi since July 29. Asked whether he will support the protest in Jharkhand, Dipke said, “We will definitely go to Jharkhand, we will stand with them and support their every demand in the agitation." A large number of job aspirants have been staging a protest in Ranchi, demanding that the alleged irregularities in the JPSC and other recruitment examinations be investigated by an independent panel of retired HC judges from outside Jharkhand.
On whether the CJP will enter politics, Dipke said the media seemed more excited than the outfit. The condition of political parties is “very bad". People vote for one side in the morning, but by evening a government is formed by someone else, he quipped. “For now, CJP will be a pressure group, as what India needs now is a pressure group," Dipke asserted. On the CJP’s core team meeting, Dipke said, “The agitation at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi drew a nationwide response. The responsibility on us has increased, and people’s expectations from us have grown. In this meeting, we will decide how the organisation should grow and also outline a rough road map for the future." He said the meeting will focus on the dwindling trust of people in institutions like the media and judiciary and also take up issues like ethanol-blended fuel and rising unemployment. CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said environmentalist and education activist Sonam Wangchuk will continue to be their mentor and they will seek advice from him. Das further said they will push for withdrawal of FIRs against students who took part in the recent protests led by the CJP against the NEET paper leak and other exam irregularities.
