‘BJP Is Scared Of Cockroaches’: CJP Claims Kolkata Event Cancelled Over Alleged Threats

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) claimed that an event scheduled in Kolkata was cancelled due to alleged threats from the BJP and the state administration. Ashutosh Ranka, a spokesperson for the CJP, stated during a press conference that the venue and several alternative halls reportedly faced pressure from BJP leaders and the state administration. Ranka also mentioned that even six other venues declined to host the event, citing "massive pressure from the state."

The cancellation of the CJP's event in Kolkata led to accusations that the BJP was scared of the party's activities in West Bengal. Ranka expressed his disappointment and vowed that the organisation would organize a larger event in the future. Additionally, CJP has announced that it will continue its "School Thik Karo" campaign, which involves documenting the condition of government schools and demanding improvements.

The CJP's accusations follow a similar incident where their meeting in New Delhi was reportedly disrupted because a banquet hall allegedly backed out due to "pressure from above." Furthermore, the party has threatened protests in West Bengal in response to the death of Sheikh Mohammad Mafik, the father of a CJP volunteer, Abdul Hafiz. The CJP alleges that Mafik was attacked by BJP-linked men, but this claim requires independent verification. The party has given the state administration ten days to address their demands.
