Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke said on Wednesday that the political campaign would operate as a pressure group for now, ANI reported. Speaking to reporters in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, he said the decision was taken because “what India needs right now is a pressure group”. Pressure groups are viewed as formal or informal organisations that seek to influence government policies and decisions without contesting elections. “That is why we believe that, to restore accountability and neutrality in these institutions, a public movement and public pressure are needed.” Dipke added that the CJP’s call to action was successful because “people rose above their own ideologies and political party lines to come together against things that are weakening our democracy”.
