AAP accuses Congress-BJP alliance in protest handling
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders have accused the main opposition party, Congress, and the ruling BJP of working together.
They say the government quickly responded to a protest by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi near his home but ignored a month-long protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and Sonam Wangchuk at Jantar Mantar.
