The BJP has adopted a measured stance toward the growing protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a newly formed movement campaigning against paper leaks and examination-related controversies. Senior party leaders described the demonstrations as a legitimate part of democracy and rejected characterisations of Gen Z protesters as “anti-establishment”. While acknowledging that concerns raised by students and young people deserve attention, BJP leaders indicated there was no immediate need for the government to formally engage with protest organisers. The remarks come amid increasing pressure from sections of the opposition and activists demanding accountability over examination irregularities and calls for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the issue.
