Dipke thanks Delhi Ramlila organisers for 'free publicity' over cockroach effigy

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, thanked event organizers for creating publicity. The 30-foot cockroach effigy represents filth and promotes cleanliness as part of national campaigns. Event organizers indicated this year’s additional effigy addresses social issues like hygiene-related health problems. The CJP has been leading protests against various political figures in recent months. The cockroach effigy has sparked conversations about the appropriateness of blending politics with traditional celebrations.
