Cozpa Launches Nationwide Campaign to Address Public Concerns

Cozpa's New Initiative to Engage with Citizens

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Maharashtra), August 6 - Abhijit Deepke, the founder of the Cockroach Public Party (Cozpa), announced on Thursday that the party will kick off a nationwide campaign called 'What Does the Public Say' next month. This initiative aims to engage with citizens and understand their issues. Deepke made this announcement following a meeting of Cozpa's core team in his hometown of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, which began discussions on Wednesday at his residence.

Deepke stated, 'Through the 'What Does the Public Say' campaign, we will gain insights into the public's perceptions of the current state of the country and the challenges they face.' He highlighted the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan as a significant victory for student protests, asserting, 'The fear instilled in people by this government over the past 10-12 years has dissipated.' He added, 'People are now ready to take to the streets. Today, they demanded one person's resignation; tomorrow, they will demand others.'

He emphasized that Cozpa will operate in alignment with the visions of Babasaheb Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for a developed India. 'Our ideology reflects that of the Indian Constitution,' he remarked. The press conference was also attended by Cozpa's chief spokesperson Saurav Das, spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, and other representatives.

Deepke noted that the protests led by Cozpa at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi last month, which addressed issues like the NEET question paper leak and other exam irregularities, resulted in Pradhan's resignation. He pointed out that not only students but also unemployed youth participated in these protests. 'Unemployment is a major issue, and we will elevate it to a national concern,' he stated.

He further expressed the need for reforms in education, criticizing the current system for being profit-driven rather than focused on accessibility. 'We want to change this,' Deepke asserted, highlighting that 60% of the population is under 35 years old, many of whom were present at the protests. He also called for restoring the credibility of the media.
