New Delhi: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday broke his silence over the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Pradhan described CJP as the "B team of disruptive elements."

"They are the B team of disruptive elements. Those who were rejected in the democracy have come in disguise and are now after the system. They raise slogans for those who want the country to be broken. They have been identified," Pradhan said, speaking to NDTV. He said that such people do not have faith in the country's progress.

The CJP, led by Abhijeet Dibke, is demanding Pradhan's resignation over the alleged NEET paper leak.

He also slammed the teachers who were found involved in the paper leak as "protectors who turned predators".
