The JPSC–JSSC Paper Leak Protest: Ranchi's Own Jantar Mantar

Thousands of Jharkhand government-job aspirants have camped at Ranchi's Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium since 29 July 2026, demanding the 14th JPSC exam be cancelled and a CBI probe into alleged paper leaks, after a candidate's viral answer sheet exposed irregularities. Student leader Devendra Nath Mahto began an indefinite hunger strike on 2 August, and the Cockroach Janta Party, whose Jantar Mantar protest this movement openly cites as its model, has publicly backed it — even as some of the same voices that called the Delhi protest 'foreign-funded' now call this one, aimed at an opposition state government, a 'just movement.'

The NEET Paper Leak Protest, the Cockroach Janta Party & Sonam Wangchuk's Hunger Strike

NEET-UG 2026 was cancelled outright after leak allegations and a wave of student suicides. The fallout fused with a separate row over the Chief Justice's 'cockroach' remark to produce the Cockroach Janta Party, a two-month Jantar Mantar sit-in, and Sonam Wangchuk's 26-day hunger strike, alongside real police violence and debunked misinformation. It ended on 25 July 2026 when Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned and the government met CJP's other demands; RSS veteran Pralhad Joshi has taken additional charge of the ministry.
