Tribal children’s deaths in Balaghat: CJP’s Dipke mocks Madhya Pradesh government with resignation letter
Abhijeet Dipke said in his satirical letter that he was resigning as “my conscience does not allow me to continue occupying this chair after the deaths of more than 30 tribal children in Balaghat”
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), lampooned the Madhya Pradesh government in a satirical resignation letter after the deaths of over 30 tribal children in the Balaghat district. The letter, addressed to Governor Mangubhai Patel and dated August 13, 2026, stated that Dipke was resigning due to his inability to continue in the role after failing to adequately address the crisis.
He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the opportunity to serve the people of Madhya Pradesh, but admitted he had clearly failed in his duties. Dipke criticized the government's compensation of ₹24 lakh per family, questioning if it was sufficient especially for children of lower-ranking officials. He also highlighted the poor state of infrastructure, including lack of tap water and inadequate schools, and called for accountability at the highest levels.
Dipke concluded that he had failed the tribal communities of Madhya Pradesh and did not believe he had the moral right to remain in office.
