NEW DELHI: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke gave credit to the Bollywood film 'Swades' for inspiring him to fight for his country. Dipke made the revelation through the social media platform X. Abhijeet Dipke shared his happiness at being able to serve his country, even at the cost of resigning from a lucrative job in the United States.
“I have watched the film Swades more than a hundred times. The scene in the film where the hero Mohan sees the suffering of a poor family and sees a child selling water at the railway station moved me. I cry whenever I see the scene. I also wanted to do something for my village someday, as the hero in the film did for the village of Charanpur,” wrote Abhijeet Dipke.
Dipke also said that he was grateful for the support received from people. Meanwhile, Abhijeet had launched the 'School Thick Karo' campaign in his village in Hingoli district of Maharashtra on Independence Day. Dipke said that basic facilities are still a far-fetched dream in government schools in his village.
