Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggesting he should abandon his post and focus on being an "influencer." Dipke made these remarks in his hometown in Maharashtra, questioning Modi's engagement with youth through social media while addressing reporters.

I think [PM Modi] should become an influencer. He is doing very well at that. If he is such a good influencer, then he should leave the Prime Minister's chair, become an influencer, and let someone else do the job.

Dipke expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of new legislation, including the anti-paper leak bill passed in the Lok Sabha. He argued that laws are futile without the correct intentions of those enforcing them. He pointed to the recent postponement of a fast-track court hearing for paper leak cases, which he said was delayed because the CBI's counsel did not appear, questioning the point of such laws if implementation is flawed.

You can't get Gen Z's support by making videos from new angles. The PM has to change the angle of his heart, not the camera angle.

His comments follow a protest on July 20, where thousands of students, led by CJP, marched to Parliament demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over NEET paper leaks and student suicides. Although Pradhan later resigned, the demonstration faced a police crackdown, with detentions and FIRs against protesters. The protest concluded on July 25 after the government agreed to demands, including the withdrawal of FIRs, compensation for affected families, and discussions on education reforms. CJP stated the government had assured the withdrawal of all FIRs against protesters and organizers nationwide.

I think bills will keep coming, but until the intentions of these people are right, nothing can happen. Many good laws have been made in this country through reforms. One law after another gets passed here.
