Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has approached the Delhi High Court to contest the blocking of the party's official X account. This action follows the account's suspension on May 21, just five days after the CJP's launch, which coincided with a surge in its social media popularity. The satirical collective emerged in response to remarks from Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who was misquoted regarding young lawyers. The CJP's Instagram account has rapidly amassed over 22.9 million followers, outpacing the Bharatiya Janata Party's official account. Following the account's suspension, the CJP created a new handle, humorously stating, “You thought you can get rid of us? Lol.” The blocking of the account has drawn criticism, with opposition leaders arguing it reflects the growing discontent among the youth regarding employment and inflation issues. Additionally, a petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking action against the CJP, alleging the group misused the court's observations. The Supreme Court declined an urgent hearing on this matter.
