CJP protest 'flop show', Opposition destabilising India, says BJP chief Nitin Nabin

New Delhi: The BJP on Saturday dismissed the CJP-led protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar as a "flop show", accusing opposition leaders and the protest organisers of attempting to create anarchy and destabilise the country.

BJP president Nitin Nabin accused Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) of trying to undermine India's stability in collusion with foreign forces, warning that the government would deal sternly with such attempts.

"An attempt is being made to create a state of anarchy in the country. Efforts are underway to destabilise the country and its 140 crore people," Nabin said, describing the opposition leaders and the CJP as two "anarchic groups".


He warned that the BJP and its workers would thwart their alleged designs, accusing them of being unable to accept India's progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra, meanwhile, termed the protest a victory of democracy over "mobocracy", alleging that the organisers had attempted to hold the national capital and the country hostage.

"There were attempts to incite violence, physical altercations, and street battles here. It remained a flop show. Democracy triumphed over mob rule," Patra said at a press conference at the BJP headquarters.

"What is happening at Jantar Mantar and what is being shown on TV and across various social media handles does not represent the true story of India. India is peaceful, and India is moving forward with good governance," he added.

Patra also called Rahul Gandhi a "nalayak" leader over his remarks concerning President Droupadi Murmu and the INDIA bloc's "vote chori" allegations.
