Two youths, Manish Brahmabhatt and Rahul Pandya, were transferred to a hospital on Monday due to a worsening health situation during their indefinite hunger strike in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The protest was aimed at voicing opposition to the core committee members list announced by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on August 6th.
The two youths criticized CJP leadership for favoring certain individuals and excluding grassroots members from the newly formed committee. Brahmabhatt alleged that the police forcefully moved them to the hospital, but emphasized that the agitation would persist even in the face of hospitalization.
Following the hospitalization, two new volunteers took over at the protest site, stating that they would continue the hunger strike against CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke. Brahmabhatt and Pandya had previously expressed solidarity with Dipke during the Jantar Mantar agitation in Delhi, but they felt that only people with close ties to Dipke were invited to the core committee meeting.
They argued that the movement represented the youth of the entire nation and not just a single individual, demanding more internal democracy within the organization. They also requested representation from volunteers across every state in the committee.
As of Monday evening, there had been no response from Dipke regarding the hospitalization of the two protesters.
