CJP to finalise agenda, organisational roadmap at first core committee meeting on August 5

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will hold its first core committee meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar on August 5 to discuss the organisation's next steps, expansion plans and the public issues it intends to take up in the coming months.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said members from different parts of the country have been invited to attend the meeting, which will focus on shaping the organisation's future direction.

“This meeting has been called to decide our agenda. We will discuss how to expand the organisation, identify the issues we should take up in the interest of the people, and chart the roadmap for the outfit,” Dipke said on Monday.

'No plan to become a political party'

Dipke rejected speculation that the CJP could enter electoral politics, saying the organisation would continue to function as a people's movement.

“We have no intention of turning the organisation into a political outfit. We want it to continue as a people’s movement.”

He further said, “Given the current circumstances, I see no reason to convert CJP into a political party,” adding, “When votes are being deleted, people are losing faith in the electoral process, when they vote for someone in the morning and by the evening someone else gets elected, when they elect MLAs and MPs from one party and they switch their allegiance to another political party, and political parties are split with the help of the ED (Enforcement Directorate) and the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation), forming a political party is not the solution.”

Responds to demand for financial scrutiny

Responding to a demand by a Surat-based Right to Information (RTI) activist seeking an inquiry into his family's finances, Dipke said he was prepared to make documents related to his educational loan, scholarship and academic qualifications public.

“If Prime Minister Modi ji is willing to make his educational degree public, I am also ready to make public all my documents related to my educational loan and scholarship. I have my original degree, and I hope the Prime Minister’s degree is genuine as well. Let him make his documents public, and I will do the same,” he said.

The CJP recently led a 36-day protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over the alleged NEET paper leak and other examination irregularities. The protest concluded after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on July 25.
