Mumbai: Senior Maharashtra Congress leaders have accused the ruling BJP of suppressing public dissent, claiming that the government blocked social media accounts of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical digital outfit, after an Intelligence Bureau (IB) report warned of a potential public unrest.
Former state Congress chiefs Nana Patole and Balasaheb Thorat alleged that the government was suppressing people's anger instead of addressing issues faced by the youth, poor and unemployed.
