CJP founder meets Mamata, signals potential INDIA bloc rally support

Abhijit Dipake, founder of the Collective for Justice and Peace (CJP), held discussions with West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee in the national capital on Thursday. During the meeting, Dipake expressed gratitude to Banerjee for the TMC's support toward youth-led movements across the country.

The encounter has sparked speculation about CJP's role in mobilising youth participation for the INDIA bloc's upcoming rally, which is expected to centre on allegations of electoral malpractices and vote manipulation in recent elections.

Dipake indicated CJP's openness to backing the multi-party alliance's planned demonstration, signalling the youth-focused organization's willingness to coordinate with the opposition coalition on electoral accountability issues.

The meeting underscores growing coordination between grassroots youth movements and established political parties within the INDIA bloc as the alliance prepares for its next phase of political mobilisation against the ruling government.
