New Delhi: With a five-point agenda, a new satirical political outfit called ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ has gained momentum across social media, attracting young people in the country. The outfit, which has over 3 million followers on Instagram, invites citizens to register for the Cockroach party.
The party was born a day after chief justice of India Surya Kant drew criticism after his controversial statement likening the unemployed youth to cockroaches. Several politicians, including Trinamool Congress MPs Maha Moira and Kits Azad, have joined the satirical ‘Cockroach Janta Party’, after the platform rapidly gained traction online.

The five-point agenda of the party includes no post-retirement reward for judges, pointing at the chief justice. Earlier this week, a visibly upset chief justice said that some become media, social media and RTI activists and started attacking the system while likening them to cockroaches. However, the CGI later clarified that by the remark, he meant only professionals with fake and bogus degrees.
