Alleged fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, who is currently living in London, has once again claimed that he is a victim of injustice by the Indian government, saying that, given all the “injustices” he has faced, he wonders if he should become a “cockroach”.
Maybe a better life on the cockroach side.”
Taking to X, he said, “With all the injustices I have faced and continue to face, I wonder if I should become a cockroach.
Its first-ever agitation at Jantar Mantar against the NEET-UG paper leak led to the resignation of then education minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Forget what I say if you don’t trust me. In a separate post, Mallya said the Enforcement Directorate, in an affidavit filed before the Bombay High Court, had accepted that it had recovered ₹ 14,000 crore from him and paid the amount to the banks to which he owed money. “And may I say again, affidavit filed in Court by the most feared criminal agency the Enforcement Directorate confirms that they handed over ₹ 14,000 plus crores to the Banks in 2021. “For all who say I am a bhagoda refusing to come to India, please be aware that I have been a permanent resident of the United Kingdom since 1992 and am currently legally prohibited from leaving this country.
Mallya’s “cockroach” remark comes after the rise of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), an outfit launched as satire in May but which went on to gather huge support from the Indian youth. Focus on what the Enforcement Directorate said,” he added. Earlier on Wednesday, Mallya hit back at those calling him a “bhagoda” , saying he is legally prohibited from leaving the United Kingdom and accusing the Indian government of being “grossly unjust” in his case. All this started with poster boy actions by the Government of India who have been grossly unjust in my case,” Mallya said in a post on X.
