Hello and welcome to Peak TV. I'm Priyanshi Sharma and with me it's Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, a week after the CJP got its first victory at Jantar Mantar with Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's designation. Abhijeet, thanks very much for joining us today and my first question to you is going to be that for the last one week we've seen a lot happening. We've seen that even after the protest ended, some people were detained, allegedly, some people's accounts were taken down, social media posts were taken down. But we'll get to all of that. In this interview, for our viewers, I want to tell you all that we are going to discuss what's next for the Cockroach Janta Party. Is Abhijeet Dipke going to become a full-time politician now? Or what are his plans? What is the CGP going to do next? What is the CGP's explanation for being on mainstream media channels because that's a criticism that they've been getting so we'll cover it all but first i want to ask you abhijit that over the last one week uh you've been in maharashtra you went back home uh from delhi after the protest ended tell us what the last one week was like because you've also said that you got calls threatening you to join the bjp yeah so last one week has been uh like really hectic after the resignation because i I was also diagnosed with typhoid and that is why I was in Delhi for two to three days. Even after the protest, I was just recovering, getting my treatment. And once I got my report negative, the second report, and that is when I came back home. And since then I been trying to spend some time with my family but it getting really difficult because people are coming here at my home and they just want to meet say hi and congratulate and that is also very important because they are coming from from far away i mean some people were here from lucknow and i was like oh my god so that is how things have been recently in last one week and what about the bgp offers because i uh i saw two video bites one in which your mother was saying that you're getting marriage proposals and the other in which you were saying you're getting proposals not proposals but threats to join the BJP so tell us about both of these offers well like every Indian middle class parent my parents dream is to get me married as soon as possible and my mother has been after that since a very long time and now she's like at least now get married because what you're doing is like we can't deal with this you need someone a partner who can deal with this thing we cannot deal with this right now but i've been telling them that it's still very soon and don't get into all of that right now and what was the second question about the offers to join the bgp because that's two versions your mother's saying that you're getting marriage proposals while you were saying you were getting offers to join the bgp yeah i mean that is that is how the language is threats and join BGP it's better for you if you don't then we'll do something to you this kind of stuff this is not the first time I mean I've been getting that since day one while I was in the US but that's how things are now and I think that are the consequences that one has to live with if you're going to speak up against this government who are these calls from and can you can you tell us what are the exact that you get total strangers total strangers I don't know
