CJP’s nationwide campaign to focus on public issues across India
Less than a month after the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) staged a mass protest in Delhi, it has now announced a countrywide drive, “Kya bolti public” (What does the public say).
The campaign will focus on listening to young people’s aspirations, concerns and ideas before drafting a citizen-driven Youth Reform Charter.
The CJP said it was keen to listen to the voices of ordinary people from different parts of the country.
Under the campaign, the CJP leadership will travel across the country from September 1 to gather inputs from the public.
“Education reform and unemployment remain at the very top of our priorities. We will also relentlessly push for institutional accountability because a democracy cannot function when institutions stop being accountable for their (in)actions,” Prashant Kishor Das, founder of India’s youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest movement wrote.
To support its expansion, the CJP is also planning to launch a crowdfunding initiative.
The announcements were made at the end of a two-day core committee meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the hometown of CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke.
