Who is behind this.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is a satirical Indian civic-commentary movement — not a registered political party under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. It launched on , founded by Abhijeet Dipke, in response to a Supreme Court of India remark referring to unemployed youth as “cockroaches”.
A short, unembellished explanation. Skip if you're here for memes.
What CJP is
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is a satirical civic-commentary platform. It started on 16 May 2026 as a tongue-in-cheek response to the Chief Justice of India's "cockroaches" remark during a Supreme Court hearing. Within five days it crossed 10M Instagram followers and 600,000 sign-ups.
We use memes, mock manifestos, and visibly fake posters to comment on unemployment, exam paper leaks, institutional double-standards, and the general gap between what is announced and what is delivered.
What CJP is not
- → A registered political party under §29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
- → An organization seeking your money, your selfie, your Aadhaar, or your loyalty.
- → A platform that targets caste, religion, gender, or disability. Our punches go up; never down. See the content policy.
- → News. Anything we publish in the satirical voice carries the
[SATIRE]marker.
Who runs it
CJP was founded by Abhijeet Dipke, a digital strategist (and former AAP social-media volunteer, 2020–2023). The platform itself is operated by a Section 8 not-for-profit company incorporated in India.
The platform's day-to-day operations — content moderation, grievance handling, compliance reporting — are run by a small named team. See the appointment of the Resident Grievance Officer and the Chief Compliance Officer.
Where it's headquartered
Wherever the wifi works.
On paper: registered office of the Section 8 company. In practice: a Discord, a few Google Docs, and three group chats that absolutely should not exist on the same phone.
Funding & ads
CJP is currently self-funded. The app and website show in-feed native ads (clearly labelled Ad) served via brand-safe networks that permit satirical political content. We do not run political-party ads, loan-app ads, or crypto ads. We don't run "donate to candidate" buttons. If we ever do, the Section 8 entity will publish a Form 24A-style statement of accounts on this page.
