Pressure group Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Sunday levelled allegations of betrayal against the Union Government, accusing it of failing to honour commitments made to the outfit in order to bring its month-long protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar to a halt, warning that another agitation could be on the cards. 

The online satirical outfit-turned-pressure group alleged that the government had broken its promises made to the country’s youth and called on the Centre to fulfil all commitments made during negotiations to end the protest. 

CJP said while addressing a press conference, “We will not allow the Government to insult an entire generation by making promises to end a peaceful movement and then attempting to wriggle out of those very promises once the streets have emptied.” 

It added that the commitments made to India’s youth must be honoured ‘both in letter and spirit.’ 

CJP questions delay over FIRs

The party claimed that despite repeated requests from the court regarding FIRs registered against student protestors, the Union Government was yet to provide the required list. 

As per the group, the government had not committed to providing the list. The party’s co-convenor Saurav Das and Legal Affairs Lead Ratna Singh had allegedly warned at a press conference that the government appeared to be trying to ‘cheat’ the younger generation after securing the withdrawal of the agitation on the basis of commitments made during a joint press conference. 

It further said that any attempt to dilute, delay, reinterpret or dishonour those commitments would amount to a ‘breach of trust’ and a ‘vishwasghat (betrayal)’ of the country’s youth. 

Party’s next move to be decided on August 24

The CJP said it would convene a meeting on Monday (August 24, 2026) to decide its further course of action and hinted at the possibility of another protest. 

The group said, “We therefore request students, young citizens, supporters and CJP volunteers across the country to remain prepared for what’s next on August 24.” 

Moreover, the outfit also alleged that no government delegation had contacted its team regarding the steps taken to implement the commitments. One of the assurances cited by the group was monetary compensation for the families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide. 

CJP lifted Jantar Mantar protest on July 25

The CJP ended its more than month-long protest on July 25, claiming that the Centre had accepted all its demands. The group said three key commitments; providing maximum possible compensation to the families of students who died by suicide in connection with the NEET paper leak, withdrawing all FIRs registered by the Central government and NDA-ruled states against protesters, with no future action against those involved in the agitation and considering the CJP’s five-point examination reform charter, were made. 

Towards its conclusion, the CJP claimed its previous agitation had culminated in the resignation of the then-Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. It maintained that despite the end of the protest, it would continue to press for fulfilment of every commitment made to the younger generation.
