CJP ‘pet project’ of AAP, Jantar Mantar protest agenda was to ‘target' PM Modi, claims BJP

CJP ‘pet project’ of AAP, Jantar Mantar protest agenda was to ‘target' PM Modi, claims BJP

BJP leader Amit Malviya has accused the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) of being an "pet project" of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its founder Arvind Kejriwal. Malviya's claims stem from a video of Kejriwal, which alleges that the recent protests at Jantar Mantar were aimed at targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP maintains that the protests were not about the NEET paper leak or educational reforms, but rather a political move by Kejriwal and his associates.

Kejriwal is heard in the video saying that the protesters came to "take on Modi ji," using crude language to describe their intentions. The BJP claims that Kejriwal revealed the existence of the CJP as a political project after its members stopped responding to his calls. Other BJP leaders, including former AAP member Swati Maliwal, accuse Kejriwal of founding and funding CJP to hijack the students' protest.
