Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical online movement led by Abhijeet Dipke – a Boston University student — whose website and select social media accounts faced a crackdown after it came under the government’s scrutiny, is now active and continuing with its movement using a back-up account on X – “Cockroach is Back”. The movement, first launched on May 16 this month, quickly gained traction and followers on social media, which even surpassed the followers of mainstream political parties in the country, especially on Instagram.
