‘Cockroach Janta Party’: India’s youth turn judge’s jab into viral political movement

A satirical political movement has gone viral amongst India’s youth with an unusual mascot at the helm: the cockroach. The “Cockroach Janta Party” was born after India’s Chief Justice referred to unemployed youth as “cockroaches.” Though he later said he was misquoted, his comments ricocheted online. As outrage escalated, 30-year old Abhijeet Dipke asked on X: “What if all cockroaches come together?” and the satirical movement now has nearly 23 million Instagram followers and counting.
