Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party is winning elections in states where it could not secure victories even during the peak of the "Modi wave". He attributed the alleged change in electoral outcomes to what he described as institutional manipulation under Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Speaking to reporters in Pune on Sunday, Dipke said, "The BJP is winning in states where it couldn't even secure a victory during the peak of the 'Modi wave'-and this is happening because of Gyanesh Kumar. Once Gyanesh Kumar leaves and the SIR freezes, only then will we know how many seats the BJP actually wins."
