‘CJP to remain a pressure group’: Abhijeet Dipke rules out politics, backs Jharkhand protests · indianexpress.com

In India, there is a movement of young people called the Cockroach Janta Party.

Even though it is called a party, it is not a political party that fights elections.

A man named Abhijeet Dipke is the founder of this movement.

He said the group wants to keep working as a pressure group.

A pressure group is a group that tries to push the government to listen to people's problems.

The movement has a mentor, an activist named Sonam Wangchuk, who helps guide it.

Dipke also said the group wants to help students in the state of Jharkhand.

Those students are protesting because they say something went wrong with government exams for jobs.

The movement plans to travel to Jharkhand to stand with those students.
