- CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das emphasized that the group's priority is a youth-led grassroots movement, not immediate full-time politics, with Das stating "our focus is very clear that this movement has to go to the grassroots".
- Ranka did not rule out a political career, stating "Never say no to anything in India".
- Ranka emphasized the need for rest and reflection before any decision on future involvement, stating "The only thing on my mind is to go home and sleep... after that, we will see how it goes."
- Ranka noted that the CJP leaders were not previously involved in politics, saying "We are all educated people. We are not seasoned protesters... We had nothing to do with politics."
CJP youth movement leader Abhijeet Dipke and other leaders have stated that their primary focus is on grassroots activism rather than transitioning into full-time politics.
"Right now our focus is very clear that this movement has to go to the grassroots because there are 750-800 political parties already. None of them are able to fulfil the wishes of the youth," said Das.
The leaders believe that by engaging at the grassroots level, they can influence existing political parties to better address the needs of young people.
Dipke, who has recently returned from studying in Boston, emphasized the importance of this grassroots approach, stating, "We are all educated people. We are not seasoned protesters. All of us have been working professionally."
Ranka, another leader, expressed a desire to take a break after months of activism, saying, "The only thing on my mind is to go home and sleep, get some rest, and meet my family. I have been away from home for the last couple of months and I really want to just relax, just reflect on all that has happened in the last two months."
The movement aims to create a platform where political leaders can be held accountable to the youth, ensuring their demands are met.
As they navigate this challenging political landscape, the CJP leaders remain committed to their grassroots mission, prioritizing the needs of the youth over immediate political ambitions.
“Ashutosh Ranka left the door open for a future political career, saying 'never say no to anything in India.' Saurav Das clarified the group's immediate priority is a grassroots youth movement, noting that there are already 750-800 political parties in India.”
