Controversy Over Kejriwal's Remarks on CJP Protests Targeting PM Modi
A video purportedly showing AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal suggesting that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests aimed to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi, not just demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, has sparked controversy. BJP leaders, including Amit Malviya and Virendra Sachdeva, accused Kejriwal and AAP of politicizing student protests and using students as 'cannon fodder.' The video's authenticity remains unverified, and AAP has not responded. The dispute highlights tensions over the protests' motives and political implications.
