What's new
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), met Mamata Banerjee on 31 October. He said his party will not take part in a rally organised by the INDIA bloc, though it supports the cause. DT Next reported the meeting and Dipke's stance on the evening of 31 October. The Times of India quoted Dipke saying he had come mainly to thank Mamata Banerjee, and it said the CJP would not join the rally. India Today also reported that the CJP will skip the bloc's rally.
Why it matters
The CJP's decision shows how a newer group is choosing its distance from the main opposition alliance. For voters, it signals that the cause may be pursued outside the INDIA bloc's events.
What others say
The three outlets agree on the core point: the CJP will not join the rally. The Times of India gives Dipke's own words about why he visited. DT Next and India Today describe the meeting and the stance without adding that detail.
What we don't know yet
The sources do not say what the rally is for, when it is, or what the CJP will do instead. They do not give the CJP's full reasons for staying out.
