Rift at CJP Sambhajinagar meet: Vaishnavi Gaur leaves early

The two-day core committee meeting of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Thursday was overshadowed by two controversies: a core member leaving midway amid reports of differences with founder Abhijeet Dipke, and a protest outside his residence by two Gujarat youth leaders alleging favouritism, The Times of India reported.

Early departure

Sources in CJP told TOI that core committee member Vaishnavi Gaur left Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Thursday morning after an alleged heated argument at Dipke's residence. According to those sources, Gaur booked an Air India flight to Delhi and departed around 11.20 a.m., returning to the national capital before the meeting concluded.

When contacted, Gaur denied that the departure was linked to any dispute. "I left for Delhi due to a family emergency," she told TOI.

Protest outside Dipke's home

Separately, two Gujarat-based activists staged a protest outside Dipke's residence alleging favouritism in the constitution of the new committee. TOI reported they were detained by police.

What we can verify

• TOI (Mohammed Akhef / TNN, updated 6 Aug 2026) is the primary published account of both the early exit and the outside protest.
• Gaur's on-record line to TOI attributes the trip to a family emergency, not a split.
• Claims of a "heated argument," internal faction lines, and the exact detention outcome rest on TOI sourcing and CJP "sources" — mark any further motive talk [unverified] until a second outlet corroborates.

No independent second major outlet was confirmed in this tick for the walkout detail; this piece stays tightly tied to the TOI record.
