Dipke's 4-year-old post on Rahul Gandhi's ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ goes viral: 'Nothing more than a travel vlog'

A four-year-old social media post by Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has unexpectedly resurfaced and gone viral, drawing renewed attention to his past criticism of Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.' Dipke had described the extensive march, undertaken by the Congress MP in 2022, as "nothing more than a travel vlog" on the social media platform X.

Rahul Gandhi's #BharatJodoYatra will end up as nothing more than a travel vlog.

The post's virality comes at a critical juncture, as Dipke and the CJP are actively appealing to opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, to lend their support to ongoing protests. These include the CJP's demonstration in New Delhi over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination, which has entered its 26th day, and activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike, now on its 19th day.

Criticising someone is easy until u face the same situation

Netizens have flooded the comments section with a range of reactions. Some users have criticized Dipke's current appeals for support, pointing out the irony of seeking help from a leader whose past efforts were dismissed. Others have defended Gandhi, questioning the right of those who mocked his march to now seek his backing. The resurfaced post highlights the complex political dynamics and the often-contentious nature of public discourse surrounding prominent political figures and their initiatives.

Before asking Rahul Gandhi to join your hunger strike, ask yourself one question. Where were you when he was walking 3,750 km across India to challenge the BJP? Those who mocked him then have no right to seek his support now.
