J.P. Nadda’s first reaction to the CJP meeting; protesters disappointed
New Delhi: Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda has given his first reaction regarding the meeting held with a delegation from the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP), which is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-2026 paper leak issue.
Nadda told the media, "The initial meeting lasted just 10 minutes. I had asked the protesters to submit their demands in writing." Following the meeting, which began at 11:50 AM on Monday, the CJP submitted a written statement at 4:00 PM. Nadda stated that he needed some time to discuss these demands within the government.
When journalists asked about the CJP meeting upon his arrival at the NDA parliamentary party’s ‘Mangal Milan’ gathering, Nadda remarked, "It went well; it always goes well." However, his response was brief—essentially, "fine, as usual."
On the other hand, CJP leaders Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Ranka have dismissed the meeting as futile. Das described the four-hour-long process as a "waste of time" and announced that the agitation would continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.
The government, however, has clarified that no assurances were given to the protesters and that the government had not invited them; it was the protesters themselves who had requested the meeting.
The CJP agitation stems from student outrage over the NEET paper leak, and the group is currently active, having organized a march to Parliament. Following Nadda's reaction, the stances of both sides have become clearer.
