The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has removed its spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya from the post after a video went viral showing him eating at a Burger King outlet in Delhi while the party's 'Chalo Sansad' protest was underway.
The video sparked criticism on social media, with people questioning what a party spokesperson was doing at a restaurant while activists were on the streets amid reports of police action.
Dahiya defended himself by saying he was hungry, but the explanation did not satisfy critics.
