'BJP threatening to hang Delhi hall owners upside down': Dipke's big claim after cancelled meet

On Wednesday, Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of threatening hall and banquet owners in Delhi to not rent out their spaces for CJP activities. Dipke disclosed that a meeting of CJP volunteers, scheduled for Naraina, was cancelled when the banquet hall they were to use revoked the booking at the last minute.

He alleged that the ruling party was exerting pressure on these establishments and warned them that allowing CJP meetings there would invite trouble. Dipke stated that despite difficulty, they eventually found a venue but were also threatened once they arrived. He claimed that the BJP was scared of the country's youth and threatened those who supported CJP.

CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka responded to the accusations, jokingly telling the BJP to worry about their own children's schools. The news comes after Dipke announced a protest similar to the Jantar Mantar movement, which he called "Season 2 of Jantar Mantar."
