So a part-time separatist and full-time @AamAadmiParty social media convener is now lecturing others on communal politics 😄@abhijeet_dipke already has police complaints linked to separatist-style propaganda and provocative misinformation campaigns.

‘Cockroach Janata Party’: Youth – Gen Z’s Digital Resistance Against Chief Justice’s Remark
The trolling began amid the growing popularity of the Cockroach Janta Party, a digital political movement launched by Dipke following remarks made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant during a court hearing.
During the hearing, the CJI had allegedly referred to unemployed youth as “cockroaches” and “parasites”. The remark triggered outrage online, although he later clarified that he had been misquoted by sections of the media.
Dipke then launched the Cockroach Janta Party as a satirical online campaign, encouraging frustrated young people to reclaim the term “cockroach” as a symbol of protest against unemployment, political neglect and lack of opportunities.
Within days, the movement gained massive traction online. Its Instagram page crossed 20 millions followers, while thousands joined the party through its website. Several opposition leaders and public figures also reacted to the movement online.
Dipke has said the initiative started as satire but is now evolving into a broader youth-driven political and social awareness movement focused on activism, accountability and citizen participation.
