CJP Founder Abhijit Dipke Shares Personal Experience with Reservation

The country is currently witnessing protests against reservation and the UGC's equity rules in different places. The protesters are demanding a change in the caste-based reservation system. Meanwhile, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke, referring to reservation, said that he does not want to do politics of division because he belongs to a Dalit family. He said, "My father got the benefit of reservation so he got a good job. That is why I went to private school and got better opportunities. My father became an engineer. Only then I could go to Boston, otherwise where would I go." Abhijit Dipke said that the loan he took for studies is yet to be repaid. In an interview to News 24, the CJP founder said, "My father is educated, but many of my relatives are not educated. My uncle still runs a shop. Bua works in the fields." During this time, Deepke also said that he was not getting much money to work with the Aam Aadmi Party.
