Abhijeet Dipke, president of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), alleged that BJP supporters were responsible for stone-pelting during a protest at Jantar Mantar [1].
The accusations highlight escalating tensions between the CJP and the ruling party amid a broader movement demanding government action on public issues. This unrest occurs as protesters seek accountability for administrative failures and specific grievances, including the NEET paper leak [2].
Dipke said, "BJP goons are behind stone pelting" [1]. The protests took place on July 23, 2026 [1], in New Delhi, where the crowd swelled throughout the early morning hours [3]. The demonstration coincided with other high-profile actions in the area, including a hunger strike by Sonam Wangchuk [2].
Law enforcement responded to the unrest by initiating legal proceedings. Delhi police have filed six FIRs in connection with the violence [3]. These filings follow reports of an attack on a Rapid Action Force (RAF) jawan during the early morning hours of the protest [3].
While the CJP continues to push for the resignation of officials, specifically targeting Dharmendra Pradhan over the exam leaks, the atmosphere at Jantar Mantar remains volatile [2]. Dipke said the violence was not spontaneous but orchestrated to disrupt the gathering [1].
Despite the ongoing turmoil, some reports indicated that Dipke was down with fever [2]. The protest continues as a focal point for various activists and political dissidents in the capital city.
“"BJP goons are behind stone pelting."”
The clash between the Cockroach Janta Party and the BJP at Jantar Mantar reflects a deepening polarization in Indian street politics. By alleging that the ruling party used 'goons' to incite violence, the CJP is attempting to frame the government as an aggressor against peaceful dissent. The filing of multiple FIRs indicates that the state is prioritizing the restoration of order over the grievances of the protesters, potentially setting the stage for further legal battles and political escalation.
