CJP Leaders to Meet Nadda Amid Delhi March
Thousands of Cockroach Janta Party supporters gathered in central Delhi on Monday for a planned march towards Parliament, prompting a major security deployment as representatives of the youth-led movement prepared to meet Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda.
CJP leaders prepare for Nadda talks
CJP spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka said they were heading for talks with Nadda after the government contacted the protesters on Monday morning. The proposed meeting marked the first significant effort to open negotiations amid the continuing agitation.
The movement has been demanding accountability for alleged examination irregularities and repeated paper leaks, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Protest leaders said they would clearly present these demands during the discussions.
Nadda currently serves as Union health minister. He was succeeded by Nitin Nabin as BJP national president in January 2026.
Thousands join CJP Parliament march
Organisers estimated that more than 12,000 people had joined the “Chalo Sansad” demonstration. However, the figure was not independently confirmed. Protesters assembled near Jantar Mantar before attempting to move towards Parliament on the opening day of its Monsoon Session.
Delhi Police had said that no permission was sought or granted for the march. Barricades were erected and security personnel deployed across central Delhi to prevent demonstrators from entering restricted areas.
Police block protesters near Parliament
Clashes and scuffles were reported after protesters attempted to cross police barricades. Security forces reportedly used tear gas and batons at some locations, while several participants were detained. Police disputed allegations of excessive force and said the gathering was being handled professionally.
The CJP agitation has gained momentum following repeated examination controversies and activist Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike. Protesters are seeking examination reforms, accountability for student suicides and government action against those responsible for paper leaks.
