CJP Founder Dipke Urges Maharashtra Govt To Hold Dialogue With Jarange

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday appealed to the Maharashtra government to listen to Maratha activist Manoj Jarange and warned against attempts to "forcibly intervene" in the agitation.

Dipke met Jarange at Antarwali Sarati village in Jalna district, where the activist's hunger strike entered its 14th day. He spoke to the media later. "The government should have a dialogue with him to understand his demands. They should not even try to touch him because this is



Maharashtra. There will be consequences," Dipke said.

He said Jarange was seeking facilities for students like Prathamesh Deshmukh, an MPSC aspirant who died by suicide. Dipke, who met Deshmukh's family in Dharashiv on Thursday, said Jarange is agitating because he wants facilities for students like Prathamesh. 

"What are the chief minister and deputy CM doing? They send their children to study abroad, while the schools here are not up to the mark," Dipke claimed.
