Urging people not to be swayed by conspiracy theories, the CJP leader said the authorities could allow one protest while cracking down on another and later reverse their approach
New Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Abhijeet Dipke has urged Opposition groups to remain united in their fight against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the government is creating suspicion and mistrust by treating protests differently.
In a post on X, Dipke compared the police response to the CJP's protest on October 10 with the INDIA bloc's demonstration on Monday, pointing out that the latter did not face a similar crackdown.

"When CJP was granted permission to protest, many were quick to float conspiracy theories that we were planted by the BJP," Dipke wrote.
"Yesterday, the INDIA bloc held a massive protest, but there was no crackdown like the one we witnessed on October 10," he added.
Dipke alleged that the differing responses to protests were being used to turn groups fighting for the same cause against one another.
"This is exactly how the govt plays us against each other. By treating different protests differently, they create suspicion and mistrust among people who are ultimately fighting for the same cause," he said.
Urging people not to be swayed by conspiracy theories, the CJP leader said the authorities could allow one protest while cracking down on another and later reverse their approach.
"My only request to everyone is to see through these tactics. Today, they may allow one protest and crush another. Tomorrow, they could reverse the roles. The idea is to keep us doubting each other instead of questioning those in power," Dipke wrote.
He also called on Opposition groups to avoid internal disputes and maintain solidarity in their campaign.
"Don't let conspiracy theories divide us. Don't fall into the trap of fighting among ourselves when we should be standing together," he said.
"The fight is against Gyanesh Kumar and those protecting him. Don't lose sight of that," Dipke added.
The remarks come amid protests by Opposition groups against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission of India.
