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.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the Narendra Modi government after the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) march in Delhi. He called Prime Minister Narendra Modi the “most anti-youth Prime Minister” and said students were punished instead of those behind the alleged paper leaks. “The hardworking youth got the punishment,” Gandhi said. He also claimed students were beaten and detained for raising valid concerns. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also criticised the police action. “They are our children,” she said, urging the government to discuss education issues and the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak in Parliament instead of using force against protesters.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took an indirect swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while praising Skyroot Aerospace's successful Vikram-1 mission ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

Congress criticised the remark, saying the real issue is unemployment among young Indians. Modi also congratulated Skyroot for India's first privately developed rocket to reach orbit and urged Parliament to hold fact-based, constructive discussions.
