Kathmandu— The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) announced Monday that its core team will convene a two-day strategy meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar from August 5. The session aims to discuss the next steps for the youth movement following recent protests against former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, which led to his resignation.

Discussion and Planning

Over the past several days, CJP team members have consulted a wide range of stakeholders on what the party's next steps should be. This includes a team of fifty core volunteers who dedicated their time and effort throughout the Jantar Mantar protest. Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das said, "Our team is working to put together the best possible path forward to channel the expectations of our youth into meaningful action."

Nationwide Listening Tour

Following the strategy meet, CJP will reach out to its volunteers across the country and organize a nationwide listening tour. The goal is to take into account the needs and aspirations of the youth, who have grown hopeful and optimistic about the country's future in light of CJP’s successful protest against Dharmendra Pradhan. "The defeat of this arrogant government at the hands of the youth shows that when young people come together, they can achieve anything," Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das said.

No Plans for Political Party

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has firmly stated that the organization has no intention of becoming a political party. "We have no such intention. We are seeing how political parties are being split using the ED and CBI," Dipke told ANI. He also alleged that outsiders had infiltrated peaceful student protests at Jantar Mantar, leading to some violence during the July 20 March to Parliament.
