# BJP accuses AAP of backing CJP to target PM Modi 2026-08-09T20:50:18+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The BJP on Sunday alleged that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar was a "pet project" of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) aimed at targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP IT department head Amit Malviya posted a video on X in which former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal purportedly says in Hindi that people came to the streets not just to demand Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation but "to take on Modi ji". PTI could not independently verify the video's authenticity. Several BJP leaders, including former AAP member Swati Maliwal and Delhi minister Kapil Mishra, condemned the remark. Malviya claimed that CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke had deep links with the AAP and that the protest had nothing to do with education reforms or the NEET paper leak. He alleged that after the protest, CJP members "went rogue and stopped taking Arvind's calls", forcing Kejriwal to reveal the true motive. There was no immediate reaction from the AAP or Kejriwal. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Amit Malviya, Arvind Kejriwal, BJP vs AAP, CJP protest, Jantar Mantar, NEET paper leak Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjp-blasts-kejriwal-for-crude-remark-on-modi-in-leaked-video/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
