Cockroach Janta Party
Satirical Indian political party
The Cockroach Janta Party is an Indian satirical political movement founded on 16 May 2026 by Abhijeet Dipke, a political communications strategist who formerly worked with the Aam Aadmi Party. It emerged in response to remarks made by the incumbent chief justice of India, Surya Kant, on 15 May 2026, in which he compared unemployed youth to "cockroaches" and "parasites of society". Within days of its founding, the movement garnered over 350,000 sign-ups and over 20 million followers on Instagram. The movement has also engaged in offline activities, with volunteers participating in protests and clean-up drives dressed in cockroach costumes.
