CJP's Shinde to lead Jantar Mantar protest in Dipke's absence

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has tapped Ajinkya Shinde to lead its planned Jantar Mantar protest following the absence of party leader Abhijeet Dipke. Shinde, who holds the position of national organisation in-charge within the outfit, brings experience from coordinating the party's earlier agitations in Mumbai.

As a prominent figure within the CJP's organisational hierarchy, Shinde's appointment underscores the party's commitment to maintaining momentum for its planned demonstration at the New Delhi landmark. The move comes as the pressure group seeks to mobilise support and coordinate its protest activities across states.

The CJP, which has gained attention for its activism and street-level organising, has previously demonstrated its capacity to mobilise supporters in major metropolitan areas. Shinde's leadership of the Jantar Mantar agitation marks another phase in the outfit's ongoing campaign to raise its key demands and expand its organisational reach beyond Maharashtra.

Details regarding the specific agenda and timeline for the Jantar Mantar protest remained unclear at the time of reporting.
