'Gandhi, Nehru & Ambedkar Are India's Soul, Brain & Backbone'
In a sharp political and ideological attack against the ruling establishment, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday designated Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as the three indispensable pillars forming the bedrock of the modern Indian republic. Releasing a fiery video statement across his official social media platforms, Dipke drew sharp historical metaphors, defining Mahatma Gandhi as the "soul" of India, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar as the nation's foundational "backbone," and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as its intellectual "brain." Addressing political detractors and the central administration, Dipke asserted that the historical contributions, democratic vision, and intellectual depth of these founding figures remain completely irreplaceable and beyond imitation.
Shivaji Park Agitation: CJP Demands Resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
The sharp rhetorical confrontation follows an intense on-ground political protest staged by the Cockroach Janata Party at Mumbai's historic Shivaji Park ground on Friday, October 2. Aligning their demonstration with Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary, party functionaries organized a public platform themed around civil non-violence, simplicity, and Babasaheb Ambedkar's constitutional principles. The core political trigger behind the assembly was a direct demand for the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The CJP alleged systemic irregularities and deliberate tampering during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of the national electoral rolls, claiming that genuine democratic participation is being compromised.

Escalation to New Delhi: Jantar Mantar Protest Called for October 10
Unmoved by the police case registered against his cadre in Mumbai, Dipke escalated his confrontation with central election authorities by serving a fresh demonstration ultimatum. In a late-night public dispatch on X (formerly Twitter), the CJP founder declared that the agitation will shift to the national capital if the election leadership fails to step down. Dipke warned that party supporters and citizens from across India will march to Delhi's iconic Jantar Mantar protest site on October 10. Reaffirming that the upcoming Delhi gathering would adhere strictly to peaceful democratic methods, he issued an open appeal to every citizen concerned with preserving free, fair, and transparent electoral processes to join the nationwide movement.
