WHAT IS CJP?

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) — also commonly spelled Cockroach Janta Party — is India's largest satirical political movement. The CJP full form is "Cockroach Janata Party." In Hindi, it is called कॉकरोच जनता पार्टी.

CJP was founded on 16 May 2026 by Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old PR graduate from Boston University. The movement was born just one day after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant compared India's unemployed youth to "cockroaches" in open court during a hearing about rising unemployment.

Instead of outrage, Abhijeet chose satire. He registered a political party named after the very word used to demean millions. Within 7 days, CJP crossed 2 lakh (200,000) registered members, making it one of the fastest-growing political movements in Indian history.

The party describes itself as "Secular, Socialist, Democratic, and Lazy" — a deliberate mockery of the establishment's perception of unemployed youth. It operates with zero corporate funding, zero paid positions, and complete transparency.

CJP's slogan is "Main Bhi Cockroach" (मैं भी कॉकरोच) — meaning "I am also a cockroach." It reclaims the insult as a badge of resilience, solidarity, and democratic defiance.

On 15 May 2026, during a Supreme Court hearing about India's unemployment crisis, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant made a remark that would change Indian political discourse forever. Addressing the rising numbers of educated but jobless youth, the CJI said they were multiplying "like cockroaches" — implying that the unemployed were pests burdening the system rather than victims of systemic policy failure.

The remark went viral. Social media exploded with outrage. But one person chose a different path. Instead of angry hashtags, Abhijeet Dipke saw an opportunity for the most powerful weapon in democracy: satire.

Within 72 hours, he had:

✅ Registered "Cockroach Janata Party" as a movement
✅ Built the entire website — cockroachjanatapart.com — from scratch
✅ Created the registration system, member cards, quiz, and manifesto
✅ Written the CJP Manifesto with data-backed demands

By Day 7, CJP had crossed 2 lakh members. The cockroaches had organized. Read the complete history of CJP →
