Protest at Jantar Mantar
The protest began at around 1 pm, with supporters gathering at Jantar Mantar carrying plates and spoons after a call issued by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke a day earlier.
However, attention on social media soon shifted to a viral video allegedly showing a stage setup with music playing at the protest site.
Viral video draws comparisons
The video, shared by an X user, claimed that the gathering appeared more like an entertainment event than a political demonstration.
"Cockroach Janta Party's protest in Delhi today looks more like a concert. There's a stage, music is playing - will Abhijeet Dipke and Vijeta Dhaiya be dancing together today?" the user wrote while sharing the clip.

The post attracted several comments from social media users. One user reportedly wrote, "Want their dancers performing today," while another posted a derogatory remark targeting individuals associated with the protest.
The comments quickly spread across social media platforms, adding a fresh layer of online debate around the group's protest methods.
