The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), born out of outrage over alleged examination paper leaks and fuelled by a derogatory remark about unemployed youth, transformed public anger into a nationwide campaign for accountability

Since its inception in May, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has emerged as a notable movement, capturing the attention of many individuals and opposition groups. It has become a key voice of dissent among India’s youth, challenging the government on various issues.

The CJP has gained momentum and inspired many people, highlighting its importance in Indian politics. It stands out as one of the most prominent youth movements in India, representing public protests against the government.

The protests, called the “cockroach” protests, began in response to claims about leaks in important entrance exams for medical colleges and government jobs. Initially focused on these specific exams, the movement soon expanded into broader agitation. Now, it includes not just the students directly affected but also professionals, parents, and everyday citizens who share frustrations about economic and social challenges in the country.

The name of the movement stems from a comment made by the Chief Justice of India, who compared unemployed youth to cockroaches. The CJP took this insult and turned it into a rallying cry for young people.........
