Cockroach Janta Party – Meet Abhijit Deepke, Who Founded Viral ‘Cockroach Janata Party’, His AAP Connection Full Story”

Cockroach Janta Party: For the past three days, a peculiar name has been trending across social media platforms (specifically X and Instagram): the ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ (CJP). Its remarkable content is making this “party” incredibly popular on social media. It is not a political party in the traditional sense, but rather an X (formerly Twitter) handle.

To date, over 100,000 young people across the country have joined this “humorous” and satirical political front, and its Instagram account has already amassed over 2 million followers. How did the idea for this “party”—which claims to be the “voice of the unemployed and the lazy” on the internet—originate in Abhijit’s mind, and what is his background? Let us tell you about it in detail.

Who is Abhijit Deepke?
Originally from Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Abhijit Deepke is a professional political communication strategist. Abhijit completed his undergraduate studies in Journalism in Pune. Subsequently, he moved to the United States for higher education. He recently completed his Master of Science degree in ‘Public Relations’ (PR) from the prestigious Boston University in the U.S. Abhijit was once a member of the ‘Aam Aadmi Party’s social media team. Later, following a statement by Justice Surya Kant—in which the judge referred to young people as “cockroaches”—Abhijit launched the Cockroach Janta Party.

In fact, this trend began when Justice Surya Kant made a reference to cockroaches during the recent hearing of a case. He remarked that some young people are like cockroaches: unable to find employment, they turn into media figures or RTI activists and begin attacking the system. However, following the uproar, the Justice issued a clarification the very next day, stating that he had not intended to say anything of the sort.
