Abhijit Dipke, the founder of the Citizens for Justice Party (CJP), has clarified his role within the organization's leadership structure, saying that major strategic decisions were made by Ashutosh Ranka and Sourav Das rather than by himself.
Dipke stated that he primarily followed the directives issued by the two senior colleagues, positioning himself in a subordinate decision-making capacity within the movement. He characterized his relationship with both Ranka and Das as familial, referring to them as brothers.
In related remarks, Dipke announced that the party would observe a pause in its public demonstrations and protests until after the Diwali festival. The statement comes amid apparent questions about the CJP's internal organizational hierarchy and decision-making processes.
The clarification sheds light on the structural dynamics within the organization during the period referenced, though details surrounding the context of Dipke's comments remain limited.
