The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced that its organisation in-charge, Ajinkya Shinde, will lead the party’s planned protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar until founder Abhijeet Dipke and co-convenors Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka remain in detention.

In a post on X on Saturday, the party said Dipke had recorded a video statement in advance, anticipating a possible arrest. The announcement comes amid heightened security and preventive detentions in the national capital ahead of the planned demonstration against the Election Commission.
