The Story in Brief
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Wednesday alleged that a banquet hall in Delhi's Naraina cancelled its booking for a volunteer meeting under political pressure from local BJP and RSS functionaries. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said the group was denied by at least 10 venues in recent days, forcing it to hold the meeting at a nearby park, where locals disrupted it.
Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor countered that the BJP government had allowed CJP to protest at Jantar Mantar, so there was no reason to pressure a private hall. Police said they kept the situation peaceful but noted locals had expressed concerns about the park meeting. The banquet hall did not respond to queries from Times of India.
The Indian Opinion
The CJP's claims of a venue being cancelled under political pressure are serious but rest solely on its own word. The banquet owner did not speak to the press, and the BJP denies any involvement. This is a familiar script in Indian politics: an opposition party alleges state-backed obstruction, the ruling party points to past permissions granted, and the real story, whether a private business was leaned on, remains unproven. We need the banquet owner's statement or police FIR details to judge. Until then, this is an allegation, not a fact.
