Lucknow, 26 July (HS): Republican Party of India National President and

Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale said in

Lucknow on Sunday that Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has

awakened the country's youth by protesting against the NEET exam controversy

and paper leak. Thousands of youth came out in support of him in every city.

Large numbers of youth supported him in every district of Maharashtra.

Union Minister addressing a press

conference at the VVIP Guest House in Lucknow, Athawale said, I do not

support the lathicharge on the youth, but there was certainly an attempt to

politicize this movement. Credit for this should go to Abhijit Dipke and Sonam

Wangchuk.

He said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government came to power on

the strength of the youth. The youth had seen Modi's leadership. That is why

the youth made Modi Prime Minister three times. Prime Minister Narendra Modi

has shown great courage on this issue. Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Action has

been taken against 47 officials. The Prime Minister has decided to make new,

stricter policies. The youth will remain with Modi; there is no question of

going with Rahul Gandhi.

Athawale will hold a rally in Lucknow on November 26: Athawale stated that

on November 26th, Constitution Day, the Republican Party of India will hold a

large rally near the Defense Expo in Lucknow. Approximately 100,000 workers

from across the state will participate. He stated that the party will demand

five seats from the BJP in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. If the BJP

refuses, they will field candidates on 25 seats.
