  • Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav urged Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke to visit Bihar and help remove the BJP-led government.
  • Yadav, who was detained by police for supporting a student protest, appealed on social media for a strong people's movement to unseat the current state government.
  • A viral video shows Dipke promising to hold his party's next event in Patna following student requests to address the state's education system issues.

Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav has publicly called on Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, to visit the state and assist in removing the current BJP-led government. Yadav, who recently floated his own party, Janshakti Janata Dal, after being expelled from his father Lalu Prasad's RJD, made the appeal via social media.

His call came shortly after the CJP (Cockroach Janta Party) concluded its protest in Delhi, which led to the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET exam paper leak. Yadav, who himself was detained by police earlier in the day for supporting a 'Bihar Bandh' (state shutdown) called by left-wing student unions, expressed concern over the "current political situation" in Bihar. He stressed the need for a "robust and strong people's movement" to "uproot and throw out the government of Samrat Choudhary."

I, Tej Pratap Yadav, make this special appeal to Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, that he come immediately to the land of Bihar.

Adding to the political maneuvering, a video has circulated showing Dipke responding to a young woman's request to visit Bihar. She stated that "an uneducated Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary is ruining the education system." Dipke assured her, "I assure you that once we are through with the ongoing protests, the next event of Cockroach Janata Party shall be held in Patna."
