I want to ask them: will your leaders show their degrees? I am ready to show my scholarship documents and my educational records,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>In a post on X, Dipke also wrote, &#8220;I am ready to reveal my scholarship letter &amp; education loan letter. Will the emperor show his degree?&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>His remarks came after a Surat-based RTI activist sought an inquiry into the finances of Dipke&#8217;s father, a retired Maharashtra government employee, questioning how he funded his son&#8217;s education in the United States.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Speaking to PTI, Dipke said there was nothing to hide and maintained that his education was funded through a scholarship and an education loan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;Those who wish to investigate my education funding are free to do so,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Dipke said he received a scholarship from Boston University and financed the remaining expenses through an education loan, which he is still repaying.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>&#8220;I received a scholarship from Boston University, and for the remaining amount, I took an education loan. It is still pending and has to be repaid. The fight is not personal,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The 30-year-old, who holds a Master of Science degree in Public Relations from Boston University, returned to India in June and led the Cockroach Janta Party&#8217;s agitation over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The protests eventually led to the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as education minister.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Dipke also dismissed attempts to link the CJP protests with political movements in neighbouring countries.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>&#8220;Protests in Bangladesh, Nepal are being used to defame us; we are different,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>He expressed hope that the Maharashtra government would withdraw police cases against students who participated in the protests.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>&#8220;Maharashtra has always led the nation through its progressive legacy. I hope the state government will not harass any student. They have done nothing wrong \u2014 they were only fighting for their future,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>The controversy began after Surat-based RTI activist Amit Tiwari filed complaints with the Election Commission of India, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), and the Maharashtra government.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Tiwari sought an inquiry into the financial assets of Dipke&#8217;s father and also questioned the legal status of the Cockroach Janta Party and a Rs 1 crore legal defence fund announced by senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal for CJP protesters facing police cases.
