cjp protest

Yogendra Yadav's call for a "politics of resistance" and his assertion that democracy should run "from the streets, not Parliament" raise fundamental questions about whether permanent street mobilisation is being elevated above India's constitutional framework of representative democracy.

Although Cockroach Janta Party protestors are now issuing “Nepal bana denge” threats, indicating Bangladesh- and Nepal-like violent regime changes in the last two years, CJP’s origins go back to a meeting attended by ‘andolanjeevi’ Yogendra Yadav a decade ago. 

Social media is flooded with numerous such posts peddling a false narrative that the Prachin Hanuman Mandir shut its doors to CJP protestors while the ‘beacons of secularism and humanity’, mosque and gurudwaras opened their gates.
