The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which started as a satirical response to CJI Surya Kant's statement, has gained immense attention in a few days. The party founder, Abhijeet Dipke, on Sunday highlighted that the outfit aims to shed light on the problems of the youth and focuses on holding the government accountable for its doings.
The hard-hitting post read, “Cockroaches are the ultimate survivors, thriving in the dark crevices and outlasting every attempt to shut them down. That’s what being young in this country often feels like—mistreated, neglected, and overlooked, but never giving up on life.

The post then slammed the government's attempt to remove the account of the party. It flagged the authorities' "incessant attempts by some to hack” all its socials and the “smear campaigns," calling them “unfortunate, but not entirely shocking."
The controversial post also mentioned that they want to build an independent, youth-driven movement focused on amplifying the concerns of young people and holding the government accountable. According to social media, the party's value aligns with leaders such as Gandhi, Ambedkar, Nehru, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. The post clarified that the core ideology of the party rests on secularism, democracy, and social justice.

“Our core belief is simple: the younger generation deserves better on education, employment, environmental issues, and institutional transparency. We will raise these issues constructively without descending into partisan politics. We are listening to every single one of you. Over the next few days, we will collect suggestions from our 22 million+ community and turn the best ideas into focused campaigns. Following that, we want to work towards collective structured action,” it added about their next course of action.
The post concluded, saying, “Share your inputs and help us build the society and country we want to live in. Together, we will ensure that young people are heard by the system, not ignored. Stay tuned—the cockroaches are just getting started.”
Petition Against CJP
A man identified as Raja Chaudhary has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a CBI investigation into the CJP. His argument is that oral courtroom remarks made by CJI Surya Kant are being used for commercial purposes.
Chaudhary, whose details were not immediately known, flagged trademark applications filed for the expression ‘Cockroach Janta Party’, and said this amounted to judges’ observations being “appropriated for commercial exploitation, political branding, meme merchandising, trademark benefits, or monetised digital circulation."
The Cockroach Janta Party shared a detailed post about its objectives and acting as a voice for the youth who are often neglected and overlooked by the system.

The Punjab police issued an advisory after several complaints of phishing were seen. The officials said that phishing links posing as CJP membership invitations began circulating on WhatsApp.

In a video on X, a Ludhiana Police officer warned that it's “not a joke."
“As soon as you click on this link, your phone will be hacked instantly, and all your banking details will be transferred to the scammers,” he said in the official video. He added that the scam messages use appeals targeted at young people, such as “The country's calling for a change in the system; the time has come.” The link with it, police in the AAP-ruled state cautioned, may not be genuine.
Cops Outside Dipke's Maharashtra Home
A group of police officials were deployed outside Abhijeet Dipke's residence at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Pankaj Atulkar told news agency PTI the deployment was precautionary.
"This is to ensure there is no crowding at his place since the CJP issue is trending on social media right now," he said, denying any formal threat complaint had been received.
Dipke, currently residing in the United States, revealed that he, along with his parents, has been receiving constant death threats. I received a video in which a man is saying that they have reached outside my home,” he told multiple publications. His father Bhagwan told a Marathi news channel he had not slept in two nights. “I'm worried because Abhijeet is now famous. And such individuals get arrested,” he said. Mother Anita added, "We just want him to come home safely. I will not support him in this.”
