Addressing the media, Dipke alleged that students and young people had been protesting in Delhi for the past 10-15 days and were being dragged away by authorities. He claimed that Opposition leaders who joined the demonstrations, including former chief ministers Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Pinarayi Vijayan, were also detained. “And all this for whom? For one man, Gyanesh Kumar,” Dipke said, referring to the Chief Election Commissioner.
