Mamata Banerjee Supports CJP Agitation; Social Media Post Restriction Sparks Concerns
Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee publicly supported the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) agitation demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral irregularities. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke thanked Banerjee on social media, but his post was restricted on platform X citing local regulations. TMC leader Derek O'Brien shared the post before its restriction and suggested government involvement. Dipke warned his X handle might be taken down before an October 10 protest planned at Delhi's Jantar Mantar if Kumar does not resign.
