The demonstration organized under the banner of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) in Mumbai turned out to be a complete failure as it failed to attract meaningful public participation. The party had announced a protest march under the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' campaign, securing official permission to hold the agitation at Mumbai's Azad Maidan from 10 am to 5 pm on Friday.
Poor Turnout at Azad Maidan
Despite the permission and advance announcement, the turnout at the venue remained extremely sparse from morning until evening. At no single point during the entire day did the gathering even reach a modest count of 50 to 80 people assembled together at the grounds. The lack of adequate support made the demonstration a damp squib in the state capital.
Scattered Agenda Throughout the Day
Apart from the weak attendance, the protest struggled to maintain a consistent focus. Throughout the course of the day, the agitation failed to stick to any single core issue. Instead, the narrative and discussion kept shifting across multiple different subjects as the hours progressed.
Police Action in Delhi
Earlier, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke had announced a similar protest under the same campaign at Central Park in Connaught Place, New Delhi. However, local police detained Abhijit Dipke even before the demonstration could officially commence, ensuring that the party's planned agitation in the national capital made no notable impact either.
