Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke said the group's protest will continue, accusing the Centre of prioritising Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over students demanding accountability in the NEET paper leak row. Addressing supporters, Dipke alleged the government was willing to "spill" students' blood to protect the minister, whom he held responsible for the deaths of more than 20 students who allegedly died by suicide following the controversy. His remarks came as the agitation entered another day despite talks between CJP representatives and the Centre yielding no concrete assurances. Protesters have reiterated that demonstrations will continue until their key demands, including Pradhan's resignation, are addressed by the government.
