The Cockroach Janta Party will continue to use every constitutional means available to make people’s voices heard, including satire, and hopes to create a lasting “movement” out of the viral popularity of the online outfit, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said.
In a video posted on Instagram and X on Sunday (May 31, 2026), the CJP founder said he would return to India on June 6 and stage a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Reiterating CJP’s demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Mr. Dipke said a petition hosted on the CJP website had received over eight lakh signatures.
