Cockroach Janta Party's Mumbai Tiranga Protest Sees Low Turnout Despite Permission
The Cockroach Janta Party's 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest in Mumbai drew fewer than 50 participants despite official permission to hold the event at Azad Maidan. The turnout was described as low across reports, with some attributing it to limited public support and late announcements. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis emphasized that regime changes occur through elections, not protests. Protesters expressed concerns about democratic erosion and pledged to continue their agitation, while some questioned the absence of key leaders at the event.
