Internal Accountability Demand Intensifies
Two volunteers who participated in the Jantar Mantar agitation have continued an indefinite hunger strike outside founder Abhijeet Dipke’s residence in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Current Status
- Strike began around August 5–6.
- Day 5 as of August 10.
- Manish Brahmbhatt and Rahul Pandey hospitalised after health deterioration.
Core Allegations
- Exclusion of grassroots volunteers from core committee and National Working Committee formation.
- Claims that positions went to friends and relatives of leadership.
- Demand for state-wise representation: five members selected from each state without exclusion.
"The committee formed by Dipke should take the opinion of all the volunteers without excluding anyone."
Context
Protesters identify as participants from the earlier student movement. They state the agitation was collective and decision-making must remain inclusive. No formal response from CJP leadership recorded in latest reports.
