Freddy Francis Resigns from Cockroach Janata Party Kerala Unit Citing Disagreements

While distancing himself from future activities, Francis acknowledged the collective efforts of the party's members and supporters in various social initiatives. The party has been expanding its presence across Kerala, addressing local issues, and Francis was involved in protests leading to former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
