Won't be surprised if X handle taken down: Abhijeet Dipke after post thanking Mamata restricted
Synopsis

Abhijeet Dipke expressed concerns about his X handle potentially being removed following a restricted post. He thanked former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her support of the Cockroach movement. Banerjee's endorsement came during a recent protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Cockroach Janata Party plans a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10 if demands are not met.

New Delhi: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday said he would not be surprised if his X handle was taken down before October 10 after his post thanking former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for backing the movement was restricted on the social media platform.



Dipke had posted on X, "Thank you @MamataOfficial ma'am for extending your support to the cockroach movement! All Indians need to come together to save democracy!"

TMC Rajya Sabha joint secretary Derek O'Brien shared the post, which was subsequently restricted by X. The post was no longer accessible and the platform instead displayed the message, "Due to local regulations, this content is restricted on X."



Reacting to the restriction, O'Brien said Banerjee had "come out strongly in support of Cockroach" and that Dipke had thanked her for the support.
