How Did Cockroach Janta Party Begin?
The idea behind ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ started after a statement linked to India’s Chief Justice Surya Kant went viral online. In a hearing in Supreme court, CJI stated that some unemployed youngsters are "like cockroaches" who turn into media, social media, and RTI activists and begin attacking the system. This quickly became a topic of memes and jokes on social media.
Soon after, a person named Abhijeet Dipke launched the satirical party on May 16, 2026. Within days, the page gained huge popularity and became one of the biggest internet trends among young users. The Instagram page gathered 6.5 million followers in just 4 days.
