Jantar Mantar Season 2 Very Soon: CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke

New Delhi: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday announced that a similar protest on the lines of the student protest will begin soon, which he termed a "Season 2 of Jantar Mantar".

Addressing a public meet, Dipke said, "Many people were commenting on Instagram when Season 2 of 'Jantar-Mantar' will begin. I want to tell them that Season 2 of 'Jantar-Mantar' is going to start very soon."

Talking to the volunteers and the mediapersons, Dipke asked “What do you Want For Jantar Mantar Season 2?”

BJP Pressure On Venue Owners Prompt Event Cancellation 

Dipke also alleged that the CJP was unable to find a venue for its volunteers' meeting in Delhi as several hall owners cited "pressure from above".

"We were scheduled to hold our volunteers' meet in Delhi today. We were looking for a hall, but no one would rent us one.

A meeting of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) volunteers in Delhi's Naraina was cancelled on Wednesday, with CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke claiming that the banquet hall where it was to be held revoked the booking at the last minute due to "pressure" from the ruling BJP.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting was called off, Dipke said the organisers had reserved the venue, but when they reached there, they were told that they could not be given the hall because of "pressure".

"Today we were going to hold our volunteers' meet in Delhi. We were not allowed to hold our meeting. They said 'there is pressure on us; we can't give you the hall'," he said.

Dipke claimed that they faced similar refusal at other venues nearby and alleged that people were being "intimidated" against providing venues to the CJP for its meetings.

"People are scared to give us a venue. We are being stopped from holding a meeting. The BJP is threatening people against giving us a hall," he said.

"As much as you threaten, we are not going to be scared," Dipke said.

"This Itself is Season 2" 

Dipke's announcement comes after the CJP led a 37-day-long protest from Jantar Mantar, which was withdrawn on July 25 after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned and they received assurance on their other key demands.

On CJP Founder Dipke's "Jantar Mantar Season 2" statement, party Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das said, "This itself is Season Two. Protests are taking place across the country against such incompetent governments and officers. On behalf of CJP, we are now embarking on a nationwide 'listening tour' to hear what the public has to say. We will run a campaign, and we are prioritising the issue of education starting from Independence Day.”
