What Is Cockroach Janata Party?

The viral “Cockroach Janata Party” (CJP) has quickly transformed from a meme trend into one of India’s biggest digital movements. The satirical online campaign grabbed attention after social media users began sarcastically embracing the word “cockroach” following controversial remarks linked to unemployed youth. Instead of functioning like a traditional political party, CJP became an internet-led protest movement powered by memes, humour, reels, and political satire. In just a few days, it turned into a nationwide talking point, especially among Gen-Z users frustrated with unemployment, corruption, exam paper leaks, and political drama.
