The Story in Brief
Two youths who claim to be volunteers of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) have staged a protest outside founder Abhijeet Dipke’s home in Maharashtra, alleging grassroots workers are being ignored. Manish Brahmabhatt began an indefinite fast, saying, 'We don't want another Kejriwal.' The protest comes as the CJP core team holds a strategy meeting in the Waluj MIDC area. Brahmabhatt said he and Rahul Pandya helped organise last month’s Delhi agitation at Jantar Mantar but were not invited to the ongoing talks.
The CJP-led protest over alleged NEET paper leaks forced Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. Brahmabhatt demanded a democratic structure, saying 'cousins and friends' cannot decide the movement’s future alone.
The Indian Opinion
The CJP was quick to accuse the government of being anti-student. Now it faces its own test of internal democracy. Labelling dissent as 'anti-party' or comparing a hunger striker to Kejriwal is plain lazy. The real question is whether Dipke will invite the fasting youths into the strategy room. If he does not, the movement’s claim to be 'faceless' will ring hollow.
