Activist and Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday wished Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on his birthday, but accompanied the greeting with a renewed call for his resignation. Dipke and his supporters were seen celebrating Pradhan's birthday in an unconventional manner. Holding a placard carrying the message, “Happy Birthday, Please Resign,” Dipke reiterated his demand that the education minister step down over issues related to examinations and recruitment processes.

The activist also presented what he described as a symbolic "birthday gift" — a prepared resignation letter for the minister. The gesture was intended to highlight the ongoing campaign led by Dipke and his supporters against alleged irregularities in the country's examination system. The birthday message comes amid continuing protests organized by the Cockroach Janta Party, which has been demanding accountability from the Ministry of Education over controversies surrounding competitive examinations. The group has argued that repeated concerns related to exam administration have affected lakhs of students and job aspirants across the country.

Dipke has been vocal in seeking Pradhan's resignation, claiming that responsibility for examination-related issues ultimately lies with the ministry. His campaign has gained visibility on social media through a series of symbolic protests and public demonstrations. The latest gesture quickly attracted attention online, with the video being widely shared across social media platforms. Supporters described it as a creative form of protest, while critics viewed it as a political stunt.

The Education Ministry has not issued any immediate response to Dipke's birthday message. However, the government has previously maintained that steps have been taken to strengthen examination systems and address concerns related to transparency and security. The incident has once again brought the spotlight on the broader debate surrounding India's competitive examination framework. With millions of students appearing for entrance and recruitment tests every year, concerns over fairness and accountability continue to remain a significant public issue. As the campaign continues, Dipke has indicated that protests seeking action on examination-related concerns will remain ongoing in the coming weeks.
