Sonam Wangchuk Details Internal Dynamics of CJP NEET Protest and Leadership Challenges
Activist Sonam Wangchuk revealed internal challenges within the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) during the NEET protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Following a police crackdown on July 20 that dismantled the protest stage and dispersed crowds, CJP leaders considered ending the agitation and asked Wangchuk to draft a message urging protesters to rest, which was not sent. Despite low morale, young protesters returned the next day, revitalizing the movement that led to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Wangchuk also described testing the CJP's commitment before his 26-day hunger strike.
