Abhijeet Dipke Demands Dharmendra Pradhan Resign Over NEET 2026 Paper Leak

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has launched a public campaign demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, India's Union Education Minister, over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. CJP's demand, and the 20.5 million-follower Instagram account that amplified it, were live on May 22 — one day before the government blocked cockroachjantaparty.org and withheld CJP's X and Instagram accounts on May 23, 2026.

What Happened: NEET 2026 Cancelled After Paper Leak

The NEET-UG 2026 examination, held on May 3, 2026, was attended by approximately 22–23 lakh (2.2–2.3 million) students across India. Within days, question papers surfaced on WhatsApp and Telegram groups before the exam window had closed.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the examination on May 12, 2026 after a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe confirmed the leak. Five persons were arrested, with investigators pursuing an insider angle involving NTA officials. The re-test is scheduled for June 21, 2026. Students are permitted to change their exam city and will receive an additional 15 minutes during the re-test. (India.com — NEET UG 2026 re-exam date announced)

CJP's Demand: Why Abhijeet Dipke Is Calling for Pradhan's Resignation

Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, published a video statement on May 22, 2026 calling for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The video crossed 12 million views within one hour of posting, according to The Tribune.

Dipke's argument: the NEET paper leak is not an operational failure — it is a governance failure for which the minister bears direct accountability. "Time to make the system accountable," Dipke said in the video. The CJP campaign collected signatures via a public petition that trended nationally. (The Tribune · Daily Pioneer)

The petition was amplified through CJP's Instagram account, which had grown to 20.5 million followers by May 22 — a larger audience than BJP's official account (9.1 million) and the Indian National Congress's official account (13.4 million). (Daily Pioneer)

Who Else Is Demanding Pradhan Resign — And Why CJP's Voice Is Different

CJP is not the only voice demanding accountability. Opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Karnataka Minister Eshwar Khandre have both publicly called for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET-UG 2026 leak. (Muslim Mirror · ANI)

CJP's demand is different in origin and tone. The Congress and state-level leaders are positioned as political opponents of the BJP. CJP's position — as a satirical, Gen Z, non-partisan citizen movement — is that accountability should not be a partisan issue. A minister whose department failed 22 lakh students should resign regardless of which party is asking.

That framing reached a significantly larger audience online than any single opposition spokesperson did in the same news cycle.

The Pattern: How NEET 2026 Fits CJP's Accountability Campaign — And Why the Site Was Blocked

The NEET demand was not an isolated campaign. CJP has consistently focused on institutional accountability: the campaign to indict the Chief Election Commissioner, the demand to reverse voter roll deletions, and now the education accountability demand over NEET.

Abhijeet Dipke stated directly that the government's crackdown on CJP's platforms was linked to the NEET/Pradhan campaign. On May 23, 2026 — the day after the petition trended — the government blocked cockroachjantaparty.org under Section 69A of the IT Act, withheld CJP's X/Twitter account in India, and CJP lost access to its Instagram account. "We currently do not have access to any of our platforms," Dipke said. (The Print)

What Happens Next: June 21 Re-Test and the CJP Petition

The NEET-UG 2026 re-test is on June 21, 2026. 22–23 lakh students will sit the exam again. As of the writing of this post, Dharmendra Pradhan has not resigned, and no minister has been held formally accountable for the leak.

CJP's position is that accountability should be demanded now — before the re-test, not after. If the movement that demanded accountability has been blocked, the right response is to make the movement bigger.
