On Wednesday, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke announced that 'Season 2' of the Jantar Mantar protests would begin soon. Dipke said he was responding to Instagram queries. He also alleged that a volunteers' meeting in Delhi's Naraina was cancelled after the banquet hall revoked the booking due to 'pressure from above' from the BJP. Dipke claimed hall owners were threatened they would be 'hung upside down' if they allowed the CJP meeting.

CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said protests are already happening nationwide and that the party will launch a listening tour, prioritising education from Independence Day.

The claims of venue cancellation and threats need scrutiny. BJP supporters will dismiss this as conspiracy theory, while critics will see it as evidence of state intimidation. Both sides risk jumping to conclusions. The real test is whether the promised 'Season 2' materialises and draws significant crowds. Until then, the focus should remain on addressing the core grievances, exam paper leaks and education quality, rather than getting trapped in a blame game. Will the government allow peaceful protests or will administrative hurdles escalate tensions?
