Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of applying pressure on venue owners in Delhi to prevent his party from securing spaces for meetings. Dipke stated that CJP volunteers faced cancellations and refusals from at least ten banquet halls.
A planned meeting in Naraina was reportedly cancelled when the initially booked banquet hall revoked the reservation due to alleged pressure from the BJP. Dipke claims that venue owners cited threats of severe repercussions if they accommodated the CJP.
Despite difficulties, Dipke asserted that the CJP eventually secured a venue. He further alleged that the individuals who provided the hall also faced threats, with warnings of severe consequences if the meeting proceeded.
Dipke interpreted these actions as an attempt by the BJP to suppress CJP activities and expressed defiance, stating that such measures would not deter his party.
