RTI Activist Seeks Probe Into Finances of CJP Founder’s Father and Party Funding
A Surat-based RTI activist, Amit Tiwari, has sought investigations into the finances of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke's father, a retired Maharashtra government employee, questioning how he funded his son's education in the US. Tiwari has also raised concerns about the CJP's legal status and the Rs 1 crore legal defence fund pledged by Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal for CJP protesters. Complaints have been filed with the Election Commission, tax authorities, and the Maharashtra government to examine these financial and legal issues. The CJP is unregistered, prompting scrutiny over its operations and fund collection.
