India, July 27 -- A day after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) dissolved its 37-day protest at Jantar Mantar over former minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, founder Abhijeet Dipke said it was just the beginning and the party had a long way to go.

Dipke, who's suffering from typhoid and undergoing treatment, issued a video statement on Sunday. He said, "I want to thank those who criticised and doubted us, and said that we were not serious and did not know how to protest. Had they not questioned or criticised us, we wouldn't have improved. We progressed because of legitimate criticism. I have been reiterating since day one... that this is just the beginning, and the CJP has a long way to go, which it will. "

Dipke also thanked all ...
