CJP eyes grassroots expansion, to unveil roadmap on August 6

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Cockroach Janta Party Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das outlined that the party's movement intends to deepen its reach beyond conventional politics.

CJP leadership asserted that addressing public grievances requires a societal awakening rather than the creation of conventional political alternatives.

Talking to the reporters, Das explained that true transformation depends entirely on building conscious resistance from the ground up and detailed the upcoming timeline and the scale of their future plans.

"We were asked questions about where this movement will go after the success of the protest, and we have all come to strategise around the same. We will hold discussions over it and think about how to take it to grassroot level... When we come up with something concrete on August 6th, we will inform everyone on our future strategy," he said.

Explaining the philosophy guiding their platform during the core committee meeting, Das remarked, "This is a movement. While there are numerous political parties, the answer to people's pain is not another political party, but an awakening on grassroot level, and this is what CJP is doing..."

Meanwhile, lashing out at the governance style reflected in recent political rallies, CJP leader Vaishnavi asserted that authorities must foster genuine conversations rather than enforcing one-sided mandates upon citizens.

"The way BJP and RSS have held other rallies recently, it is not much of a dialogue; it is dictation. So we just hope that they engage in dialogue instead of dictation. Children should not be bullied that is our hope. Otherwise, we will continue working on our youth movement," Vaishnavi said.

Asserting that demonstrations carry profound political consequences, CJP leader Ratna Singh noted that while organisations like the RSS maintain their active support structures, the political resonance of public agitations has expanded far beyond major cities.

She said, "No, the RSS comes forward only to help them whenever they do, so there is no doubt about that. But whether this movement has had an impact, do you think, on voters... it definitely has, it has because just as much as you saw at Jantar Mantar, it has also had an impact in every village where people couldn't even come. So definitely..."

Referring to recent confrontations involving heavy-handed policing and firearm deployment during student demonstrations in various states, the CRatna Singh emphasised that executive actions do not go unnoticed.
