Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke questioned Ramdas Athawale’s offer to join politics. Dipke recalled being labeled anti-national just one month prior to the invitation. Athawale invited Dipke, describing him as an active Ambedkarite, to strengthen society and the party. The Union minister also mentioned a potential Union cabinet reshuffle happening very soon. He urged eight NCP (SP) MPs to join the NDA government if Sharad Pawar declines.
