The "Cockroach Janta Party" (CJP), a satirical movement started by student Abhijeet Dipke, gained over 20 million social media followers in six days, outpacing major political parties. Sparked by a controversial "cockroach" remark from CJI Surya Kant regarding unemployed youth, the parody became a viral sensation among Gen Z.

However, its explosive growth triggered severe backlash. After revealing his Dalit identity, Dipke faced casteist attacks and death threats, and the CJP’s X account was legally withheld in India. Ultimately, the phenomenon highlights a stark generational divide, demonstrating how Indian youth are using internet absurdity to protest political dismissal and reclaim their voice.

As the #CockroachJantaParty (#CJP) has gained popularity, particularly among youth on social media platforms across the country, cyber criminals have been exploiting its visibility. Suspicious and virus-infected phishing links are being circulated on mobile phones across #Ludhiana, prompting the #Punjab Police to caution citizens against falling prey to such fraud.

Sources said cyber criminals are sending WhatsApp messages to young people inviting them to join the β€œCockroach Janta Party” and making statements such as: β€œThe country is calling for a change in the system, the time has come” and β€œBig opportunities for youth”, along with a link.

#OPINION | How dare such cockroaches attack everyone and raise questions on our crumbling footpaths, polluted air and water, filthy cities, or corrupt bureaucracy?


The audacity of the cockroaches to question the fact that there are over 5.5 crore pending cases in Indian courts, or that the Supreme Court works only for 193 days, high courts work around 210 days, and trial courts for around 245 days per year, is enough to make any patriot’s blood boil in rage. There are roughly 5 lakh prisoners in India, of which 3.75 lakhs are undertrials, but so what?

#DelhiHC has ordered the restoration of the #CockroachJantaParty's (CJP) X handle, which had been withheld in India since May.

Appearing for the Centre, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the handle had been blocked to prevent "chaos" among students and parents ahead of the June 21 NEET re-test.

"Since NEET is already over, the primary concern is no longer of any relevance. In these circumstances, the order is revoked. The petition is allowed," the court said.
