NEW DELHI: BJP MP Sambit Patra on Saturday termed the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) proposed protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar a "flop show". The BJP MP claimed that the "anarchists" who wanted to hold Delhi "hostage" have failed."Jantar Mantar's story is not India's story. What is happening at Jantar Mantar, what you can see on TV and a few social media handles, is not India's story. India is calm and going ahead under good governance. We have been seeing that a few anarchist forces have been spreading anarchy in a corner of Delhi for the past few days. But today the anarchists have failed. The flop show of anarchist elements has completely collapsed. There was an attempt to hold India, the national capital, captive; that there be arson here, that there be violence here.
