Abhijeet Dipke Says BJP Should Listen to Mohan Bhagwat
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has accused the BJP of acting as though it has become “bigger than the RSS”, urging the ruling party to pay greater attention to statements by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on religious inclusion and youth protests.
Dipke Says BJP Should Listen to Mohan Bhagwat
Speaking in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Dipke argued that 12 years in power had made the BJP increasingly unwilling to heed the organisation he described as its ideological mentor.
His remarks followed Bhagwat’s statement in New York that a Hindu who believes Muslims should have no place in India cannot be considered a Hindu.
Dipke contrasted Bhagwat’s emphasis on inclusivity with political rhetoric coming from sections of the BJP and said the ruling party should reflect on the RSS chief’s message.
Dipke Contrasts Modi and Bhagwat on Gen Z
Dipke also highlighted Bhagwat’s earlier remarks defending the democratic right of young people to protest.
Bhagwat had said Gen Z protesters should not automatically be branded anti-national and advocated dialogue to address their grievances.
Dipke contrasted this position with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s use of the term “Dimagi Naxal”, arguing that it demonstrated differences between the political language used by the BJP leadership and Bhagwat’s approach towards dissent.
Dipke Responds to Sonam Wangchuk Remarks
Dipke also rejected interpretations of activist Sonam Wangchuk’s recent comments suggesting CJP leaders may have political ambitions.
He said Wangchuk’s remarks had been distorted and maintained that the CJP’s current focus remained on the issues that drove its youth-led protest movement.
