Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the “Cockroach Janta Party,” reacts to an invitation from Union minister Ramdas Athawale, an NDA leader, asking him to “join the party” in politics. Dipke questions the offer by pointing out that he was described as “anti-national” by Athawale just a month earlier.
Athawale responds by presenting Dipke as an “active Ambedkarite” and suggests joining RPI (including RPI(A)) as a way to further Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s ideals and “strengthen society” and the party. Separately, Athawale also raises the possibility of a Union cabinet reshuffle soon and urges eight NCP (SP) MPs to consider joining the NDA government if Sharad Pawar does not do so.
Across the reports, the central focus is the dispute over political alignment and the apparent change in tone from Athawale toward Dipke, along with Athawale’s broader remarks about potential government and cabinet moves.
