How it started
A courtroom slur, turned into a party.
The next morning, Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old PR student at Boston University, opened a Twitter account and called it the Cockroach Janata Party. He didn't expect a response. He got a movement.
By 19 May, the party had a website, an anthem, a five-point agenda, and over a lakh registered members. Two sitting MPs — Mahua Moitra and Kirti Azad — publicly signed up. #MainBhiCockroach trended on X for 48 hours straight.

There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment and don't have a place in a profession. Some become media, some become RTI activists, and they start attacking everyone.
CJI Surya Kant · Supreme Court of India · 15 May 2026
Chapter One
Our movement's vision.
We are not here to set up another PM CARES, holiday in Davos on the taxpayer's salary slip, or rebrand corruption as "strategic spending." We are here to ask — loudly, repeatedly, in writing — where the money went.
Our Mission
Build a party for the young people who keep getting called lazy, chronically online, and — most recently — cockroaches. That's it. That's the mission. The rest is satire.
The Five Demands
The Manifesto.
Read it once. Read it twice. Then send it to someone who needs to read it.
01
If the CJP comes in power, no Chief Justice shall be granted a Rajya Sabha seat as a post-retirement reward.
02
If any legit vote is deleted, whether in a CJP or opposition-ruled state, the CEC shall be arrested under UAPA, as taking away voting rights of citizens is no less than terrorism.
03
Women shall receive 50% reservation, not 33%, without increasing the strength of Parliament. Additionally, 50% of all Cabinet positions shall be reserved for women.
04
All media houses owned by Ambani and Adani shall have their licences cancelled to make way for truly independent media. Bank accounts of Godi media anchors shall be investigated.
05
Any MLA or MP who defects from one party to another shall be barred from contesting elections — and from holding any public office — for a period of 20 years.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is CJP / Cockroach Janta Party?
The Cockroach Janta Party is a satirical Gen Z political movement in India. It was started after the cockroach remark about unemployed youth, and it turned into a public-pressure campaign around jobs, accountability, elections, media, and youth representation.
CJP is not a traditional political party yet. It is a movement, a satire, and a community for people who feel ignored by the system.
Is CJP a real political party?
CJP is real as a public movement and online community, but it is not currently a registered political party with the Election Commission of India.
It began as satire, but the people joining it are real, the demands are real, and the frustration behind it is real. Think of it as a political movement first, and a formal party only if the colony decides to take it there.
How do I join CJP?
Joining CJP is free. You can become part of the colony by filling the join form on the website.
There is no membership fee, no eligibility drama, and no interview. The only requirement is that you relate to the movement — unemployed, lazy, chronically online, angry, ignored, or simply tired of the system.
The ₹299 member badge is optional. Membership stays free.
Who started CJP?
CJP was started by Abhijeet Dipke after the cockroach remark about unemployed youth went viral.
What began as a reaction became a movement because people saw themselves in it. The founder may have started the account, but the colony is what turned CJP into something bigger.
Who can become a CJP member?
Anyone who connects with the movement can become a CJP member. Students, job seekers, working professionals, creators, meme pages, activists, and people who are just tired of being ignored can all join.
CJP is not built around caste, religion, region, or status. It is built around a shared feeling: if the system treats ordinary people like insects, the insects can organize.
What are the 5 demands of CJP?
CJP’s manifesto is built around accountability, elections, women’s representation, independent media, and anti-defection laws.
The five demands include no post-retirement Rajya Sabha rewards for Chief Justices, strict action if legitimate votes are deleted, 50% reservation for women in Parliament and Cabinet, action against corporate-controlled media, and a 20-year public-office ban for MLAs or MPs who defect after winning.
What was the cockroach remark?
The cockroach remark refers to a comment made during a court discussion about unemployed youth and professional frustration.
CJP uses that remark as a symbol. The point is not only about one sentence. It is about the larger feeling that young people, unemployed people, activists, students, creators, and ordinary citizens are often spoken about with contempt instead of being heard with respect.
Where can I follow CJP online?
CJP is mainly active on Instagram, X, and through the official website. The movement also spreads through memes, reels, screenshots, WhatsApp forwards, and political conversations online.
The easiest way to follow updates is to check the official CJP social handles and the website for manifesto updates, blogs, press coverage, and community activity.
Is it Cockroach Janta Party or Cockroach Janata Party?
The movement uses Cockroach Janta Party as its main name. Some people also search for it as Cockroach Janata Party, because Janata is the more common spelling in political names.
Both searches usually refer to the same movement, but on this website we use Cockroach Janta Party as the primary name.
What does CJP stand for?
CJP stands for Cockroach Janta Party.
It is the short name used for the movement across the website, social media, blogs, and campaign material. When people search for CJP in this context, they are usually looking for the Cockroach Janta Party movement, its manifesto, membership, founder, or social handles.
Who owns CJP?
CJP is not owned by one person like a company or brand. It is a public movement built by the people who join, share, question, and participate.
The movement was started by Abhijeet Dipke, but CJP belongs to the colony — the students, job seekers, creators, workers, and citizens who turned a joke into a collective voice.
When did CJP start?
CJP started the morning after the cockroach remark.
During a Supreme Court discussion, CJI Surya Kant said:
There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment and don't have a place in a profession. Some become media, some become RTI activists, and they start attacking everyone.
The next morning, Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old PR student at Boston University, opened a Twitter account and called it the Cockroach Janta Party.
How many members does CJP have?
CJP has crossed 2 lakh registered members.
The first 1 lakh members joined within the first 72 hours, and the movement has also gained major social traction, with 22M+ and counting followers on Instagram.
