'Political party not the answer': Dipke, Saurav Das, others to meet and discuss CJP's future

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leadership is convening a two-day strategy meeting in Maharashtra to determine the future direction of the youth-led movement after spearheading nationwide protests over alleged examination irregularities.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, chief spokesperson Saurav Das, and spokesperson Vaishnavi Gaur, along with other senior members, will attend the meeting to discuss reviewing the recent protest movement, expanding the organisation's reach at the grassroots level, and finalising its future roadmap.

Dipke emphasized that the CJP's priority lies in building a grassroots movement rather than entering electoral politics. The organisation will consult Gen Z to determine the issues they want the movement to address.

Das stated that the two-day meeting will help define the next phase of the movement, with concrete plans to be announced on August 6. The CJP views itself as a movement, not a political alternative, and aims to raise youth-centric issues while building a grassroots network in every district.

Spokesperson Vaishnavi Gaur criticised the government's handling of the protests, calling for dialogue instead of dictation. She expressed hope that authorities would engage in dialogue with the youth, rather than imposing decisions.
