Intelligence agencies have been put on high alert to see if the Cockroach Janata Party is trying to mobilise the youth. While Shashi Tharoor has backed the CJP, the Congress party is playing a wait-and-watch game before making any official comment.
The controversy around the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) is still raging, and the central government is staying completely silent about banning its X account. Top intelligence agencies have received strict orders to keep a close watch and see if there were any attempts to organise young people through the account. Meanwhile, the party’s Instagram account has crossed a massive two crore followers.
Shashi Tharoor support CJP
While Shashi Tharoor has come out in support of the CJP, the Congress party has decided to wait and see how things unfold before making a statement.
Reacting to Shashi Tharoor’s support for the CJP, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar took a dig at him. Jaishankar questioned if the Congress has become totally irrelevant. He asked if even those who disagree with the government now feel that the Congress is not a good option. Tharoor had earlier argued that platforms for dissent should not be blocked.
Amid all this, CJP’s founder Abhijit Deepke said they are thinking about turning the group into a political front. He also claimed that his Instagram account was hacked. The Karnataka Police are now on high alert after a call for a human chain tomorrow was made in the CJP’s name.
The Cockroach Janata Party is quickly becoming a huge sensation among the youth on digital platforms. The CJP is also using new and innovative ways to campaign. Their AI-generated videos are all over Instagram Reels, stories, and statuses.
These reels use AI to explain their message very clearly and simply. Even the image of a cockroach in a suit has a deep meaning—it represents the pain of this country’s highly educated but unemployed youth. The Cockroach Janata Party is promising an India that the country’s youth dream of: a country free from corruption and communalism, with speedy justice, no unemployment, 50% reservation for women, and the internet as a fundamental right for every citizen. Whenever one CJP account gets shut down, several new pages pop up in its place.
