Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has said he rejected several job offers in the United States and decided to return to India to raise concerns about issues affecting students and young people.
In a video message shared on social media, Dipke announced that he will arrive in India on June 6 and participate in a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The demonstration is expected to focus on concerns surrounding examination-related controversies, including NEET and CBSE-related issues.
‘I Want to Do Something for My Country’
Explaining his decision, Dipke said he chose public engagement over professional opportunities abroad because he wants to contribute to India.
“I received several job offers in recent days, but I decided not to accept them. I want to return to India because I love my country and want to do something meaningful for it,” he said.
Dipke added that citizens have a responsibility to participate in issues that affect society and future generations.
Peaceful Protest Planned in Delhi
According to Dipke, the planned gathering will follow democratic and constitutional principles. He has urged supporters, students and young citizens to participate peacefully and lawfully.
The protest is expected to include a demand for greater accountability in the education sector and calls for action over examination-related concerns that have affected millions of students.
Dipke has also sought support from individuals who believe educational reforms and transparency are necessary.
