From raising students’ concerns, CJP has suddenly shifted to electoral issues: BJP
The BJP has criticized the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for shifting its focus from student-led protests over NEET exam irregularities to electoral politics. BJP leaders characterized the group's actions as a political maneuver and questioned the legitimacy of their ongoing agitation.

"Perhaps you wouldn't see such a fast mutation (change) even in radioactive decay," BJP Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi jibed, while replying to media queries during a press conference at the BJP headquarters here.
