Debate With Arnab Goswami: CJP's Back-to-Back Flop Show In Bengal | Full Debate

In a fiery edition of The Debate, Republic Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami thoroughly dismantles the so-called "Cockroach Janta Party" (CJP) after their highly publicized meet-up in West Bengal turned into a massive flop show. Just weeks after instigating violent clashes at Jantar Mantar in the national capital, the CJP attempted to expand their narrative to Kolkata, only to face an embarrassing cancellation due to a complete lack of public and logistical support. CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and founder Abhijeet Dipke were forced to call off their planned event after multiple venues, including the historic Bharat Sabha Hall, reportedly refused to host them. While the CJP leaders attempted to save face by claiming they faced "massive pressure from the state" and alleged political threats, Arnab Goswami rips into their narrative, exposing their sheer lack of genuine grassroots backing. Arnab questions how a group that professes to represent Gen-Z and the youth of India couldn't even secure a single venue in Bengal, calling out the "goonda tactics" they previously displayed in Delhi and the hypocrisy of the political ecosystem that enables their disruptive behavior. Is the CJP’s street protest model losing relevance, or did they completely misjudge the public mood in West Bengal? Watch Arnab Goswami’s unsparing analysis as he lays bare the spectacular failure of the CJP's Bengal agenda and questions the true motives behind their brand of political activism.
