CJP Alleges BJP Pressure Led To Cancellation Of Kolkata Meet-Up

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Tuesday alleged that its scheduled Kolkata meet-up was cancelled after the owners of a venue in north Kolkata received threats from BJP leaders and claimed that six other halls had also refused to host the event, citing "massive pressure" from the state administration.

The West Bengal BJP, however, denied the charges as baseless. CJP leader Asutosh Ranka made the allegations in a post on X, claiming that the event at Bharat Sabha Hall



was cancelled after the venue owners were allegedly threatened.

"Our scheduled Kolkata Meet-Up at Bharat Sabha Hall in North Kolkata has now been cancelled after the owners received threats from BJP leaders. 6 other halls refused, stating massive pressure from the state," Ranka posted on X. 

He claimed the developments showed that the BJP was "scared" of the CJP and assured supporters that the organisation would soon return with a larger event.
