  "account": "Founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Abhijeet Dipke, has expressed his gratitude towards Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant for instigating the nationwide student protests against NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and examination irregularities. Dipke credited CJI Kant for \"waking us up\" and launching the student-led movement, stating that the chief justice's remarks prompted him to return from the United States and establish the CJP. The CJP was formed following a controversy over remarks attributed to CJI Kant, who had described certain unemployed youth as \"cockroaches\" and \"parasites\" during a hearing on May 15. However, CJI Kant later clarified that his comments targeted individuals who had entered the legal profession using \"fake and bogus degrees.\" Dipke emphasized that the CJP's launch and the movement's success would not have been possible without CJI Kant's intervention. The student protests culminated with Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and the government accepting the remaining demands. Despite this, Dipke expressed dissatisfaction with the appointment of Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, citing concerns over his stance on the Bilkis Bano rape case.",
