‘They are not saints…’: Wangchuk says CJP founders have political ambitions, insists there’s nothing wrong with it
Sonam Wangchuk said he told Dipke, Das and Ranka to keep the student movement free of political agendas despite any future political ambitions.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk stated that the leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) have political ambitions, which he observed during a protest in Delhi. However, Wangchuk emphasized that having political ambitions is not inherently wrong and that he supports young leaders joining political parties or creating their own. He acknowledged that the CJP founders are not virtuous individuals without political aspirations and that there is nothing negative about it.
Wangchuk's assessment is based on his close observation of the founders and his belief that their political ambitions are not a bad thing. He said that the founders had assured him that while they might have political ambitions in the future, they should ensure the platform remains neutral and apolitical, serving as a pressure group rather than a political vehicle.
Wangchuk expressed satisfaction that the founders maintained this stance throughout the student movement, which aimed to keep the platform free from any political party's influence.
