New Delhi, October 11 (Daily Kiran) : The Cockroach People’s Party (CJP) held a press conference on Sunday at the Press Club in New Delhi, where co-convener and spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka made serious allegations against the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the central government, and the Delhi Police.
Ranka stated that numerous unprecedented incidents occurred in the country over the past 72 hours. He emphasized that this is a battle against the Election Commission and its head, Gyanesh Kumar. Ranka accused the Election Commission of failing in its duty to protect the nation, claiming that Kumar is working to ensure the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
He also recounted a tragic incident involving the death of Abhijit’s grandmother on Saturday. Ranka criticized the Delhi Police for their inhumane behavior when Abhijit was informed of her passing. He expressed shame over the police’s conduct, stating that officers were present with cameras and microphones during such a sensitive moment, turning a personal tragedy into a spectacle.
Ranka highlighted that Abhijit repeatedly expressed concern for his parents’ health, who are heart patients, and requested to speak with his cousin in the village to understand the situation better. However, he claimed that the Delhi Police showed no compassion, reflecting a troubling insensitivity in the country.
He praised four former chief ministers—Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee, Manik Sarkar, and Pinarayi Vijayan—for their recent efforts to stand with students and youth in defense of democracy, thanking them for their commitment to the cause.
In addition, Saurav Das alleged that he was held at the RK Puram police station while Ranka and Abhijit were detained elsewhere. He claimed they were separated and expressed concerns that evidence might have been planted on their confiscated phones. Das described the current situation in the country as resembling an open emergency, reminiscent of the authoritarian rule seen in 1975.
Das further asserted that in the last few days, Delhi has been transformed into a militarized zone, with 30,000 to 40,000 security personnel deployed, including troops airlifted from Naxalite-affected areas, West Bengal, and Kashmir. He criticized the extensive restrictions, such as the closure of 57 metro stations and the cancellation of trains, which he argued adversely affect ordinary citizens who are not participating in protests.
He warned that the government’s end is near, accusing it of trying to protect Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
