NEW DELHI: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Tuesday targeted the centre and alleged that “One Nation, One Election” was merely a slogan and alleged that the government’s intention was to establish “one nation, one political party”.He also claimed that activists of the Cockroach Janta Party were being served police notices and pressured against participating in protests."I have said multiple times that the Maharashtra Police is the best police force in the country, and the Delhi Police should learn from them. But it is heartbreaking that the Chandrapur police served notices to CJP workers, telling them not to participate in the agitation at Jantar Mantar. They also asked about the source of the expenses for travelling to Jantar Mantar," Dipke said.Dipke questioned how police could predict that the agitation would turn violent.
