‘We want democracy back’: CJP launches ‘Kya Bolti Public’ campaign after Pradhan's resignation

New Delhi: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on August 6 announced its next phase of political activities after the resignation of its Pradhan. Addressing a press conference in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke outlined the party’s plans for organisational expansion and public engagement.

Deepke announced that the party will begin a statewide public relations campaign from September 2026 called ‘Kya Bolti Public’, aimed at connecting directly with citizens and understanding their concerns. He said the campaign would focus on taking up public issues and mobilising people for future agitations.

CJP's new roadmap after Pradhan's resignation

The announcement comes after the resignation of the party’s Pradhan, which CJP described as a major achievement. Deepke said the resignation was a "victory" for the party and indicated that CJP would adopt a more active approach on issues affecting citizens.

The party said its future strategy would involve expanding its presence among people and creating platforms where citizens can raise grievances and participate in campaigns.

‘Kya Bolti Public’ campaign

The proposed ‘Kya Bolti Public’ campaign will focus on direct interaction with citizens across India. According to Abhijeet Dipke, the initiative aims to highlight public concerns and build support for movements on issues the party believes require attention.

The party has not yet announced a detailed schedule, locations or specific issues that will be covered under the campaign.

With the new announcement, CJP has indicated plans to strengthen its grassroots activities and increase public participation. Deepke said the party would take a more aggressive stand on matters related to citizens in the coming days.

Issues raised by CJP

The announcement marks a new phase for the party after the leadership change and signals its intention to expand organisational activities beyond its existing base.

During its announcement, CJP highlighted several issues it said would be central to its future campaigns. The party said it plans to focus on education reforms and raise concerns about what it describes as gaps in the existing education system.

The party also criticised the role of money and influence in elections, alleging that electoral politics has become increasingly driven by financial power rather than public issues. CJP said it would raise questions about transparency and accountability in the electoral process.

CJP further alleged that institutions such as the Election Commission and sections of the media have not always functioned independently. The party claimed that some media organisations act under influence, while also questioning whether democratic institutions are adequately protecting public interest.

The party also highlighted the role of Generation Z in politics, saying that young citizens' concerns and voices are often overlooked in decision-making processes. Through its planned public outreach campaign, CJP said it aims to directly engage with younger voters and ordinary citizens on issues affecting them.
