Dipke Questions Athawale's NDA Invite After Being Called Anti-National

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has publicly questioned Union Minister Ramdas Athawale's invitation to join the NDA camp. Dipke pointed out the contradiction in being labeled anti-national just a month before receiving the offer. Athawale had extended the invitation, describing Dipke as an active Ambedkarite who could strengthen both society and the party. The Union minister also hinted that a cabinet reshuffle could happen very soon. Separately, Athawale urged eight NCP (SP) MPs to join the NDA government if Sharad Pawar chooses not to align with the coalition.
