Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijit Debki on Tuesday indicated that his party was not keen on contesting the elections, and also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “not reaching out” to the country’s students after the NEET-UG fiasco.
Debaki held a press conference here ahead of the CJP’s protest in the city demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Asked if the CJP would contest the elections, Debki said: “Why should we contest the elections? I mean, if everyone in this country has to fight the elections to demand their rights… how will it work?”
Asked whether the Prime Minister should address the youth of the country and assure them that paper leaks will not happen again, Debki said Modi should first apologize to the parents of the five-six students who committed suicide (in the wake of cancellation of NEET-UG scheduled for May 3).
“Pradhan Mantri ji tweets if anything happens all over the world, but here students of this country are committing suicide and there is not even a condolence tweet for them from the PM. How long will you talk about ‘Mann ki baat’ and ‘Pariksha pe charsha’? At least listen to the students’ ‘Mann ki baat’,” tweeted Pradhan Mantri ji.
The CJP founder added that if the Prime Minister interacts with the students, he will be able to understand their problems and find solutions.
He reiterated that the RJD’s nationwide protest would not stop until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned.
