Youth-Led Cockroach Janta Party Emerges as Prominent Political Movement in IndiaPreviousNext

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), founded by Abhijeet Dipke in response to Chief Justice Surya Kant's controversial remarks likening unemployed youth to 'cockroaches,' has rapidly grown into a significant youth movement. Starting as a satirical online campaign, the CJP amassed millions of social media followers and organized large protests demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The movement combines street demonstrations with digital activism, reflecting a new form of youth political engagement in India.
