CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke addresses the media, urging the BJP to follow RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's guidance and alleging the party considers itself larger than its parent organization.

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Abhijeet Dipke called on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to heed the advice of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, alleging that the ruling party mistakenly considers itself superior to its parent organisation.

Dipke’s statements followed a speech delivered by Bhagwat in New York, where the RSS chief asserted that anyone believing Muslims should not live in India cannot claim to be a Hindu.

Dipke also took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding his reported label of "Dimagi Naxal" for protesting Gen Z youth.

“I have been saying this from the beginning that the BJP should listen to Mohan Bhagwat. After being in power for 12 years and having so many agencies in its hands, BJP is thinking that it has grown bigger than the RSS,” Dipke said.

He noted that while Bhagwat previously warned against branding youth demonstrators as "anti-national," the Prime Minister introduced a different label.

“But the PM (Narendra Modi) came up with a new word, 'Dimagi Naxal'. It clearly shows that the PM is not listening to Mohan Bhagwat,” Dipke said.

He highlighted that Bhagwat emphasizes inclusivity and care for the younger generation, making such remarks from the Prime Minister inappropriate.

“They should at least listen to Mohan Bhagwat who is their mentor... they (BJP) are in power because of the RSS,” Dipke said.

Additionally, Dipke dismissed claims that climate activist Sonam Wangchuk’s recent comments signaled political aspirations within the CJP. Clarifying Wangchuk's statements from a YouTube interview, Dipke argued that the activist's message was misconstrued.

“He was asked whether Sourav (Das) and Ashutosh (Ranka) are having any ambitions. Wangchuk said that we are talented and good leaders and have not been corrupt till now. We have run the agitation honestly,” Dipke said. “He has spoken good things about us,” he added.

Bhagwat’s address in New York

Speaking at the ‘One World One Humanity’ gathering organized by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD) as part of a landmark Raksha Bandhan event focused on Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), Mohan Bhagwat stressed that diverse religious traditions share a single foundation of truth and humanity.

“We come from a society that believes humanity is one. If any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslims in India, then he's not a Hindu….” the RSS chief said.

“If you want call yourself hindu than you must believe that all paths are leading to the same. And every human has a dignity. There is no difference between human beings,” he added.

Emphasizing the importance of preserving diversity while promoting unity, Bhagwat reflected on the shared nature of human existence.

“I am not a religious scholar, nor a religious authority like you, but I am working in a society which traditionally says that religions might be different, but humanity is one. Truth is one, and humanity is a product of that truth. So humanity is one,” Bhagwat said.

“That truth is one truth, but it is described in many ways according to the describer. Because as human beings, we are prisoners of the software that has been created in our heads,” he added.
