Dipke Mocks PM Modi’s Selfie Video on Exam Reform Bill

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has once again targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this time over a selfie-style video the PM shared to celebrate Parliament’s passage of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. Reacting sharply to the post, Dipke quipped that the Prime Minister’s complexion looked more radiant than the nation’s prospects.

What the New Bill Proposes

In his video, Modi described the amended legislation as a major step toward building a fair and trustworthy examination system, warning that those running “paper mafia” networks would not escape punishment. The bill builds on the 2024 law by increasing jail terms and fines for exam-related fraud, mandating time-bound investigations into paper leak cases, and requiring fast-track courts to ensure speedy trials. The government has framed the update as part of a broader push to use technology alongside stricter legal deterrents to safeguard the integrity of national exams.

Opposition Questions Focus on Punishment

Critics, including CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, argue the amended bill leans too heavily on punishing offenders after a leak occurs rather than addressing the root causes that allow leaks to happen in the first place. They have called for structural reforms, particularly an overhaul of the National Testing Agency (NTA), along with a stronger emphasis on effective on-ground implementation rather than legislative announcements alone.

Dipke’s remark adds to a string of similar barbs he has aimed at the Prime Minister in recent months, reflecting growing opposition frustration over what they see as image-driven messaging overshadowing substantive policy debate on exam security and student welfare.
