The 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP), a satirical political movement, has recently filed two trademark applications by individuals named Azim Adambhai Jam and Akhand Swaroop, notably excluding its founder Abhijeet Dipke. The movement gained traction following remarks made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who referred to unemployed youth as 'cockroaches' during a hearing. Although he later clarified that his comments were misquoted, the CJP's popularity surged, amassing over 14 million followers on Instagram in just one week.
CJP's manifesto outlines several proposals, including a 50% reservation for women in Parliament and a 20-year ban on politicians who defect from their parties. The movement has drawn attention from various political figures, including opposition leaders Akhilesh Yadav and Mahua Moitra, further amplifying its reach across social media platforms. Despite its rapid growth, the CJP's X account was recently withheld in India due to legal demands, leading Dipke to establish a new account. The movement continues to engage users with its blend of satire and political critique, challenging the status quo in Indian politics.
