The Congress party has instructed its workers to maintain focus on the ongoing NEET-CBSE controversy and avoid being diverted by the June 6 protest called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Party leaders believe that education-related issues should remain centered on student concerns and accountability, rather than being subsumed into a broader political mobilization.
Strategic Distance from CJP
Congress strategists are wary of the CJP's growing visibility. They draw parallels with past anti-establishment movements that later evolved into political platforms. The party has chosen to keep its distance from CJP and pursue its own campaign demanding accountability and the resignation of the education minister.
Continued Protests by Youth Congress and NSUI
Meanwhile, the Youth Congress and the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) continue to hold nationwide protests over NEET and CBSE concerns. These protests aim to keep the spotlight on the alleged irregularities and the need for systemic reforms in the education sector.
Congress leaders emphasize that the agitation should remain issue-based and not be hijacked by other political forces. The party's decision to distance itself from CJP reflects a calculated move to maintain its own political identity and agenda in the education debate.
