New Delhi [India], July 26 (ANI): Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) National spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka on Sunday took a dig at mainstream media, recalling his response to a question on why the media was not covering the party's agitation, saying he had then remarked that "by the time we are done, mainstream media would no longer be relevant."
In a post on X, Ranka said he was trying to locate the video in which he was asked around June 25, "Why is mainstream media not covering you?"

Earlier in the day, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke thanked supporters across the country for backing the party's 37-day-long agitation, which was withdrawn following assurances from the government on its demands.
Dipke, in a video shared on X, thanked supporters for standing by the movement and said the party had a "long way to go".
"This is just a beginning," Dipke said, asserting that the CJP would continue its journey.
The agitation culminated with the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday amid nationwide protests over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Following the resignation, the CJP called off its protest at Jantar Mantar after receiving assurances from the government.
Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh held talks with the CJP and accepted its demand for suitable compensation to the families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide. They also assured the withdrawal of FIRs lodged against protesters across the country.
The government further agreed to examine the outfit's five-point charter on examination reforms, with the next round of talks scheduled after four weeks.
The agitation had gained momentum after activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the protest and undertook a 26-day hunger strike. Following the government's assurances, Wangchuk congratulated the youth and called the development a victory for democracy.
Meanwhile, as Pradhan stepped down, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi was assigned the charge of the Ministry of Education. (ANI)
