The Congress has reached out to Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke, inviting him to a high tea hosted by Rahul Gandhi for INDIA bloc leaders, civil society representatives and student leaders. The move signals a possible shift in the party’s approach towards CJP, which has led protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged electoral irregularities. Congress leaders had earlier maintained distance from the group, with some viewing it as linked to the Aam Aadmi Party. Rahul Gandhi recently condemned the arrest of CJP leaders during protests at Jantar Mantar. (PC: The Indian Express)
