Cockroach Janta Party Founder Abhijeet Dipke Meets Mamata Banerjee in Delhi

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), met with former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee in New Delhi to express gratitude for her support during the outfit's recent youth-led protests.

According to reported statements, Dipke stated he visited Banerjee to thank her for standing by the organisation during its Jantar Mantar movement concerning the NEET paper leak issue, as well as following the reported arrests of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka by Delhi Police.

Stand on INDIA Bloc Rally

Addressing queries regarding the upcoming INDIA bloc rally scheduled for Sunday at Ramlila Maidan, Dipke clarified that while his organisation supports the cause and stands in solidarity, the CJP will maintain its independent identity. He described the CJP as a neutral platform that intends to function autonomously.

Dipke added that the party would support any organisation campaigning against alleged electoral irregularities and vote theft.

Remarks by Mamata Banerjee

Mamata Banerjee, who is currently in Delhi for the Sunday rally, acknowledged the young activists and their role in protests concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the Election Commission. She noted that mutual support had been extended between her camp and the youth activists, referring to them as pioneers of the movement. Banerjee also reportedly invited Dipke and other activists to organise programmes in West Bengal.

Previously, on October 16, Banerjee had publicly criticized the detention of Abhijeet Dipke by Delhi Police.
