A bizarre new political satire movement nicknamed the “Cockroach Party” is rapidly gaining traction across India’s social media landscape. Inspired by the insect’s image of survival and resilience, the online collective has attracted millions of followers within days and reportedly overtaken the BJP in Instagram engagement. The trend exploded after controversial remarks allegedly made by Chief Justice Surya Kant comparing unemployed youth in journalism and activism to “cockroaches” and “parasites,” triggering a wave of memes, protests and political satire online.


'Cockroach' Janta Party Overtakes BJP in Number of Followers on Instagram

<p>As the Cockroach Janta Party has gone viral on social media with millions of followers, another party, Oggy Janata Party, has claimed to expose its AAP links, accusing it of not being “neutral” as it claims to be. This comes as several social media users question Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of CJP, a former AAP worker. Dipke is currently living in the US, further raising questions about whether his satirical movement is a propaganda against the current ruling party of India, Bhartiya Janata Party.</p><p>In its Instagram bio, the OJP writes, “Not backed by any political party, unlike USA-based ‘CJP’”. It added, “just uncomfortable truths. Question everything. Worship nothing.” The account has gained over 7,000 followers as of Thursday.</p><h2><strong>What did OJP reveal?</strong></h2><p>In a post on Instagram, the Oggy Janata Party highlighted Dipke’s APP links, posting screenshots from his LinkedIn account. The 30-year-old political communication strategist worked with the Aam Aadmi Party as part of its social media and election campaign team from 2020 to 2023. During the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, when the party led by Arvind Kejriwal swept to power, Dipke was involved in creating meme-based digital campaigns for the party.</p><p>The OJP posted screenshots of past social media activity of Dipke, showing his support for AAP. In several of the screenshots, Dipke praised AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. In one of the posts, he expressed gratitude to former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia after meeting him. “Leaving for Boston with your guidance as my compass. No distance will ever weaken my commitment to AAP,” Dipke had written in the caption, posting a picture with Sisodia.</p><p>The OJP also highlighted that the CJP follows influencer Arpit Sharma on Instagram, whose father, Vikas Sharma, contested in the 2022 UP elections on an AAP ticket. It also questioned why are opposition veteran politicians like Mahua Moitra and Kirti Azad joining a youth movement.</p>

<h2><strong>OJP’s Manifesto</strong></h2><p>In a post on Instagram, OJP released its manifesto, which focuses on animal rights. Its manifesto includes: stray animal protection, free animal healthcare, shelter and rescue expansion, strict animal cruelty laws, feed and care missions, and adoption awareness campaign.</p><p>In separate posts, the OJP also called for justice for the NEET paper leak incident, demanding the resignation of Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan. It also demanded a complete ban on beef slaughter and export. The OJP said it promises to make education degrees compulsory for lawmakers.</p>

Oggy Janata Party emerged online, claiming to expose the Cockroach Janta Party’s alleged AAP links. It shared posts about founder Abhijeet Dipke and released a manifesto focused on animal rights, and also raised other issues.

As the Cockroach Janta Party has gone viral on social media with millions of followers, another party, Oggy Janata Party, has claimed to expose its AAP links, accusing it of not being “neutral” as it claims to be. This comes as several social media users question Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of CJP, a former AAP worker. Dipke is currently living in the US, further raising questions about whether his satirical movement is a propaganda against the current ruling party of India, Bhartiya Janata Party. In its Instagram bio, the OJP writes, “Not backed by any political party, unlike USA-based ‘CJP’”. It added, “just uncomfortable truths. Question everything. Worship nothing.” The account has gained over 7,000 followers as of Thursday. What did OJP reveal? In a post on Instagram, the Oggy Janata Party highlighted Dipke’s APP links, posting screenshots from his LinkedIn account. The 30-year-old political communication strategist worked with the Aam Aadmi Party as part of its social media and election campaign team from 2020 to 2023. During the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, when the party led by Arvind Kejriwal swept to power, Dipke was involved in creating meme-based digital campaigns for the party. The OJP posted screenshots of past social media activity of Dipke, showing his support for AAP. In several of the screenshots, Dipke praised AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. In one of the posts, he expressed gratitude to former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia after meeting him. “Leaving for Boston with your guidance as my compass. No distance will ever weaken my commitment to AAP,” Dipke had written in the caption, posting a picture with Sisodia. The OJP also highlighted that the CJP follows influencer Arpit Sharma on Instagram, whose father, Vikas Sharma, contested in the 2022 UP elections on an AAP ticket. It also questioned why are opposition veteran politicians like Mahua Moitra and Kirti Azad joining a youth movement.

<p>The Cockroach Janta Party has taken the internet by storm as it quickly went viral, registering over 100,000 members within days of going live. What started as a satirical joke became a massive digital movement, gaining millions of followers.

Founded by Abhijeet Dipke, a former AAP social media worker, CJP has drawn attention from students, social media users, and even some politicians.</p><p>In a latest development, the X account of the CJP has been withheld in India. The account had gained more than 200k followers in just four days as it went viral. Following this, Dipke created a new account, urging more people to follow it. Meanwhile, its Instagram account has surpassed the number of followers of the official handle of the Bhartiya Janata Party, the world’s largest political party. As of Thursday, the CJP account gained over 15.3 million followers, while the BJP’s account has 8.8 million followers.</p><h2><strong>Who is Abhijeet Dipke?</strong></h2><p>Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of Cockroach Janta Party, is a 30-year-old Indian political communication strategist.</p><p>Known for his work in digital political messaging, narrative building and online campaign strategy, Dipke completed his undergraduate degree in journalism in Pune.

In the complaint, filed by the Legal Rights Observatory, a voluntary organisation, alleged that he was garnering “support for separatist/ terrorist active in Kashmir” and “relentlessly provoking people through his Twitter account.” The LRO accused Dipke of “spreading lies, provocative false propaganda and Hurriyat style separatism.”</p>
