There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment or have any place in the profession. Some of them become media, some of them become social media, RTI activists and other activists and they start attacking everyone.
The remark from the Supreme Court bench that triggered the movement.
Not only am I proud of our present and future human resources, but every youth of India inspires me. I see them as the pillars of a developed India.
The next-day clarification, after the original remark went viral.
Launching a new platform for all the cockroaches out there.
The original X post that started CJP.
Those in power think citizens are cockroaches and parasites. They should know that cockroaches breed in rotten places. That's what India is today.
For too long, people have been quiet in India. There is a responsibility to take this moment and not laugh it off.
I have my differences with the PM, but I believe the CJI has no right to insult him. Not having a legitimate degree does not give anyone the right to call fellow citizens 'parasites'.
Gen Z wouldn't like it if current politicians joined the CJP.
I am not delusional; I know this can die out in a few days. I do want to make it an independent body, but the least I can do is create a space or platform for people, especially the youth, to be heard.
I think the biggest takeaway from the response is that young people in India are frustrated since no political party has done anything for them in the last few years. I think that is precisely why all have signed up as cockroaches.
They understand their constitutional rights and will express their dissent through peaceful and democratic means. And please, do not demean them. Many of these young people are far more educated and informed than those currently running the government.
Build a party for the young people who keep getting called lazy, chronically online, and, most recently, cockroaches. That's it. That's the mission. The rest is satire.
Mission statement from the CJP website.
We are not here to set up another PM CARES, holiday in Davos on the taxpayer's salary slip, or rebrand corruption as 'strategic spending.'

In the last decade, there has been a lot of fear in the country. And people are scared to speak. India has become so hateful that the Cockroach Janta Party is like a breath of fresh air.
Retired bureaucrat Ashish Joshi, to Al Jazeera.
Cockroach Janta party is a satirical, non-existent party, yet people believe that it is a better alternative to reality. That's kind of a giant commentary on Indian political parties in general.

The name is intentional. We attach ourselves to a broken system, not to feed off it, but to force it to change from within.
Statement from the sibling movement that branded itself in parallel with CJP.
It was impromptu. I tweeted something. Within a few hours, the idea had spiralled into something I was no longer in control of. I'm still not.
Press: 'Will CJP contest the Bankipur by-election?' Me: 'We will read the manifesto out loud at the polling booth and see what happens.' This is the level of seriousness. Take it accordingly.
