Vijeta Dahiya Removed As CJP Spokesperson Following Viral Burger Controversy

Vijeta Dahiya is at the centre of a major social media controversy after videos of him eating a burger during CJP’s ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest went viral. The controversy gained traction because the viral video surfaced while protestors were reportedly facing police action near Parliament. The incident quickly became one of the most discussed political and social media topics, eventually leading to Dahiya’s removal as the party’s spokesperson.

What Happened?

A viral video showed Vijeta Dahiya at a fast-food outlet near Jantar Mantar when a bystander confronted him and questioned why he was eating instead of standing alongside protesters during the demonstration. The confrontation was widely circulated across social media platforms, with users debating whether a senior face of the movement should have been away from the protest at that moment.

Why Did the Video Go Viral?

The 'Chalo Sansad' march was already drawing national attention, and protesters were facing police action while attempting to march towards Parliament. Against this backdrop, footage of one of the party's prominent spokespersons at a restaurant sparked a strong public reaction. Social media users questioned his commitment and leadership during a critical phase of the protest.
