BJP Leaders Criticize Jantar Mantar Protests, Assert Democracy Prevails Over Unrest
BJP leaders, including Sambit Patra and Ravi Shankar Prasad, condemned the Jantar Mantar protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), describing them as a failed attempt to disrupt Delhi and the nation. They accused opposition figures like Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Mamata Banerjee of inciting unrest and weaponizing street protests following electoral defeats. The BJP hailed the police crackdown and electoral victories as affirmations of democracy prevailing over attempts at anarchy, emphasizing governance through Parliament rather than protests. Opposition concerns about electoral roll revisions remain contested.
