Abhijit Dipke Alleges Government Divides Protesters Over Election Commission Protests

Analysed 13 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Politics
Abhijit Dipke Alleges Government Divides Protesters Over Election Commission ProtestsPreviousNext

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijit Dipke accused the central government of using divide-and-rule tactics by treating protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar differently. Dipke highlighted that while the CJP faced police crackdowns during its October 10 protest, the opposition INDIA bloc's larger demonstration on October 13 did not. He urged protesters to avoid conspiracy theories and remain united in demanding Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
