Ashutosh Ranka

Ashutosh Ranka, spokesperson for the Cockroach Janta Party, stated that the movement aims to raise youth issues regardless of which party is in power. Ranka made this statement while speaking with Menaka Doshi from Bloomberg.

Following student-led protests in India over education reform, Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka addressed the movement's future steps. He discussed concerns regarding alleged harassment of protesters and explained why the group has chosen to remain a pressure movement rather than participating in electoral politics. These details were covered during an appearance on Bloomberg's Insight with Haslinda Amin.

India's youth-led 'cockroach' movement, organized by the online Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demands the release of detained protesters following nationwide demonstrations over exam irregularities and government assurances. The movement, which forced the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, reports detentions in Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar, with over 100 arrests and legal challenges. Protests turned violent in New Delhi and Bihar, prompting police crackdowns and calls for an independent investigation into alleged police brutality.

The Cockroach Janta Party has withdrawn its protest after the Centre accepted its demands. The party's national spokesperson, Ashutosh Ranka, requested protesters to return home peacefully.

Indian government officials have requested time until Saturday afternoon to respond to demands from the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam paper leaks. Talks between government ministers and CJP representatives occurred after activist Sonam Wangchuk ended a 26-day hunger strike, with protesters warning of expanded demonstrations if the demand is not met.

The Centre invited protesters to talks at J.P. Nadda's office, but the CJP rejected the offer. The CJP spokesperson stated that discussions would only occur at Jantar Mantar or a neutral venue.

The Centre has initiated talks with the CJP. CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka are scheduled to meet Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda.

Cockroach Janata Party criticizes the government for exposing JEE data and demands the sacking of the Education Minister. The party's spokesperson, Ashutosh Ranka, denied claims of violent agitation and emphasized peaceful protest.
