India Jul 25, 2026

Himachal Pradesh Governor Kavinder Gupta has questioned the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest, which began over NEET paper leaks.

He feels the movement has lost its original focus and now seems to have a hidden agenda, especially since the NEET exam is done and results are out.

Dharmendra Pradhan resigns amid protests

Gupta said, "Somehow people are being instigated," and called it part of a "toolkit" with harmful intent.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, meeting students' main demand after weeks of protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

Gupta also stressed that the government is committed to fixing exam issues, mentioning arrests and strict action against those behind the leaks.
