BJP National Information & Technology Department in-charge Amit Malviya questioned the CJP-led protest over alleged examination irregularities, accusing its leaders of applying different standards across states. His remarks triggered a wide range of reactions on X, with users debating paper leaks, political accountability, student protests, and the government's response.
New Delhi: BJP National Information & Technology Department in-charge Amit Malviya has questioned the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest over alleged examination irregularities, alleging that the movement has adopted different standards while raising the issue of paper leaks across various states. His remarks, posted on X, generated mixed reactions from social media users, with opinions divided over the protest, the government's response, and accountability in examination-related cases.
Malviya, who is also the BJP's West Bengal co-in-charge and a member of the party's National Executive, questioned why the protest leadership had focused on certain states while remaining silent on others where paper leak cases had also surfaced.
"If this protest is truly about students and paper leaks, why do Dipke, Ranka and gang have different standards for different states?" Amit Malviya posted on X.
Amit Malviya Questions CJP Protest Over Paper Leak Cases
In his post, Malviya asked why the protest had highlighted alleged examination irregularities in Uttar Pradesh while, according to him, not raising similar demands regarding Punjab and Karnataka, where reports of paper leak incidents had also emerged.
He further questioned whether the protest organisers had demanded the resignation of the Education Ministers in Punjab or Karnataka, alleging that the selective focus reflected political motives rather than a nationwide campaign against examination irregularities.
Malviya also referred to Arvind Kejriwal, stating that if education was the primary concern, he could appoint activist Sonam Wangchuk as Punjab's Education Minister, calling it a decision within his own authority.
"The selective outrage exposes the politics behind the protest," Malviya said in his post.
Social Media Users Express Mixed Views
Malviya's remarks prompted a wide range of responses from users on X, reflecting differing opinions on the protest and the broader issue of examination paper leaks.
Some users argued that paper leak incidents had become a nationwide concern and called for systemic reforms instead of focusing on individual states.
One user wrote:
"Paper leak is spreading like corruption all over the nation. It would be wise if Mr. Wangchuk becomes our Education Minister. The nation will flourish under him."
Another user suggested that the growing online discussion around youth participation in the protests should have received greater attention.
"The alarm bells were already ringing about the youth and Gen Z protest. Why were we caught sleeping? They gave warning, they did it."
Users Debate Accountability and Student Protests
Several users criticised Malviya's remarks, arguing that if examination irregularities were a matter of concern, governments should adopt a uniform approach regardless of the state involved.
One user commented:
"If the concern is truly for students, the same standards should apply in every state."
Another user criticised the political narrative surrounding the protests.
"Don't talk about standards when you yourself don't live up to it. You and your party have stooped very low by labelling the protesting students as anti-nationals."
At the same time, other users supported Malviya's observations and criticised the ongoing demonstrations.
One supporter wrote:
"Only leftists and hired goons are supporting them. Most students have returned to their studies and work. Once police begin arresting those involved in violence, the protest site will eventually clear."
Debate Continues on Examination Reforms
The exchange on social media reflects the continuing debate surrounding the CJP-led agitation, alleged examination irregularities, and demands for political accountability. While political leaders continue to exchange criticism, discussions on examination reforms, paper leak prevention, and student welfare remain at the centre of public discourse.
