The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has suffered a dramatic internal split, with a group of volunteers and former protesters breaking away to launch the Cockroach Janata Party (Democratic), or CJP-D. Led by founder Manish Brahmbhatt, the breakaway faction has accused Abhijeet Dipke’s CJP of centralising power, politicising the student movement and allowing a personality cult to emerge. Brahmbhatt has also alleged that the Dipke-led outfit became a “cat’s paw” of the Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal, claiming volunteers were sidelined in favour of people with political affiliations.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal led a march towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence to protest the Centre's E20 ethanol-blended fuel policy, alleging that it is harming owners of older vehicles. Kejriwal said he intended to hand over letters from more than two lakh people to the Prime Minister. However, Delhi Police stopped the march, following which Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and other AAP leaders staged a sit-in protest.
