The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) is using a Taylor Swift song to criticize Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amidst protests over examination irregularities. This follows a controversial remark by Pradhan about the protesters.
NEW DELHI: The Cockroach Janata Party has turned to Taylor Swift's hit song 'Anti-Hero' to criticise Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, using a video montage that syncs clips of the minister with the opening lyric: "It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me." The video, shared by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, featured a montage of Pradhan portraying him as the face of repeated failures in India's education system. As the song moves to the line "At tea time," the clip shifts to Prime Minister Narendra Modi , a reference to his tea-seller past and his 'Chai Pe Charcha' outreach programmes. The lyric "everybody agrees" accompanies visuals of the ongoing CJP protests at Jantar Mantar. The CJP has been staging protests at Jantar Mantar since June 20, demanding Pradhan's resignation over a series of alleged examination irregularities, including the NEET paper leak, irregularities in the CBSE's OMS system and the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test paper leak. Activist Sonam Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike at the site since June 28.
'B-team of terrorists' remark draws backlash
The video comes days after Pradhan described sections of protesting youth and the CJP as the "B-team of terrorists," a remark that drew sharp criticism from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who demanded the minister apologise and resign. "Dharmendra Pradhan, immediately apologise to the millions of youth in this country and resign for your failures," Gandhi said, accusing the government of turning the education system into an "extortion racket." Dipke hit back, alleging Pradhan had "the blood of more than 17 students on his hands" and shared a video of the father of an 18-year-old NEET aspirant who allegedly died by suicide, questioning how his son could be labelled a "terrorist."
