Assam Police detained over 30 Cockroach Janta Party workers, including four central committee members, in Guwahati ahead of their scheduled regional volunteers' meeting.
CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka, among those detained, criticized the police action and alleged that authorities forced cancellations at the original private venue.
Ranka accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of attempting to prevent the party from exposing state school conditions and man-made floods.
