Cockroach Janta Party Appoints Spokespersons Ahead of June 6 Protest in Delhi
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement originating from social media satire, has appointed three spokespersons—investigative journalist Saurav Das, political researcher and filmmaker Vijeta Dahiya, and former McKinsey consultant Ashutosh Ranka—to represent the group ahead of a planned protest on June 6 in Delhi. The protest demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities, including the NEET paper leak. The CJP emphasizes grassroots support, transparency, and accountability, with endorsements from activists like Sonam Wangchuk. The party faces criticism for lack of female spokespersons, which founder Abhijeet Dipke attributes to concerns over online harassment. The movement seeks to broaden its public engagement and reshape political discourse through youth leadership.
