Ajinkya Shinde, a 35-year-old native of Maharashtra, is currently leading the CJP’s protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. He was appointed as the National Organisation In-Charge of the CJP, founded by Abhijit Dipke, in August.

He met Dipke in Goa in 2016 and has since been associated with the party, serving as a social media coordinator for the Maharashtra team and the AAP convener for Pimpri-Chinchwad. His connection to AAP has drawn attention, with social media posts showing photographs of him with AAP leaders.

His parents are farmers, and he currently resides in Latur, referring to his car as his true home.
