Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday said that the growing influence of Gen-Z has compelled even Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to engage with young people.
“These are the country’s youth who have compelled even Prime Minister Narendra Modi to post reels late at night. Mohan Bhagwat, too, wants to engage with Gen-Z,” Dipke said.
He said it was good that political and social leaders were recognising the importance of Gen-Z, even if it had taken them some time to realise that the younger generation could not be ignored. “Gen-Z is the future of our country,” Dipke said, arguing that young people should be given greater space to shape conversations about the country’s future.
Dipke further said that young people would be better placed to engage with their own generation than leaders in their 70s and 80s. “It would be better if young people talk. You 70-80-year-old people won’t bring anything new to Gen-Z. They want young representation,” he added.

Dipke Says ‘CJP To Work As Pressure Group’
On Wednesday, after the CJP concluded its crucial August 5 meeting, Dipke, while responding to queries related to the party’s political future, said that the party will work as a pressure group to push for accountability and neutrality in institutions such as the political system, judiciary, media and Election Commission.
Speaking to the media, Dipke said, “For now, CJP will be a pressure group because what India needs right now is a pressure group.”
“Whether it is the political system, the judiciary, the media, or the Election Commission, is that people have lost faith in all these institutions. The support that our movement received was not limited to education… That is why we believe that, to restore accountability and neutrality in these institutions, a public movement and public pressure are needed. The political system today, in my opinion, is in a very bad state,” he further said.
Dipke On Jharkhand Protest
Dipke further added that the party stands with Jharkhand students protesting over alleged irregularities in the JPSC, JSSC CGL and other competitive examinations and may visit the state if required.
“We will definitely go to Jharkhand; we stand with the students who are protesting there, and we support every one of their demands… Now we will discuss how we can strengthen our movement across the country. We will discuss how we can strengthen our movement in every state. We will discuss how we can move forward. We will also discuss the future roadmap of the CJP and what steps should be taken. In a way, our two-day CJP conclave will decide the future of our strategy,” Dipke said.
“Our members are present in the Jharkhand protest; if needed, we will be visiting there. We will hold a press conference tomorrow at 2:00 PM following the two-day core members’ meeting. We will share all the details and decisions taken during the meeting at the press conference,” he further said.
