Dipke on Tuesday accused the BJP-led central government of using ‘One Nation, One Election’ as a step towards what he described as “one nation, one political party”. The actual intention of the ruling dispensation is to push the country toward ‘one nation, one political party’,” Dipke said. He alleged that the “true objective” behind one nation, one election was to “snatch away the voting rights guaranteed to citizens by Dr B R Ambedkar”. “This is not about one party or ideology, it is a fight for the survival of Indian democracy,” he said. “I have said multiple times that the Maharashtra Police is the best police force in the country, and the Delhi Police should learn from them. But it is heart-breaking that the Chandrapur police served notices to CJP workers, asking them not to participate in the protest at Jantar Mantar,” he said. “They also asked CJP workers about the source of funds for travelling to Jantar Mantar,” Dipke said. “The police stated (in the notice) that the agitation is going to be “violent”. What do they have to do if a person is going to Delhi from Chandrapur?” he said. Targeting Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Dipke said he should be aware of the state’s legacy.

“I could see the fear in her eyes. And like always, I lied. “One Nation, One Election is just a slogan. How do the police know so early that the agitation would be violent? Have they planned anything in advance?” he asked. “Why is the Maharashtra Police behaving like Delhi Police? He should know about the legacy of Maharashtra. “Instead of harassing our workers, they should arrest me…If they want they should put me behind the bars and charge me with UAPA, NSA. He also criticised police directions to CJP activists against posting anything on social media that could lead to violence. “We speak about (Mahatma) Gandhi and B R Ambedkar. Do they think it is violent?” he asked. Dipke alleged that Rahul Pawara, who is leading a protest by tribal students in Maharashtra, was also facing police harassment. If the son of Ambani or an MP, MLA was protesting, would the police behave in such a manner?” he asked. He also questioned the appointment of Vivek Bhimanwar as MPSC chairman by the Governor.

He said the anxiety was not limited to his own family. “And I know it’s not just my parents,” he wrote. Dipke said those participating in the protests should know that they were not alone. We are all in this together,” he said. He said he hoped for an India where parents would not have to fear for their children when they chose to protest. “And I hope we can build an India where, someday, when our own children take to the streets to raise their voices, we won’t have to fear for their lives the way our parents fear for ours today,” Dipke said. “But we are tired of living in constant fear,” he said.
“But I’m tired of seeing that fear in my mother’s eyes.
