New Delhi: The official website of Cockroach Janata Party has been taken down shortly after the the party’s official X handle was withheld, and its backup Instagram account was taken down. Founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday alleged a crackdown on the satirical digital outfit saying it has lost access to several social media accounts following a series of takedowns and hacking attempts.
Dipke said the party’s “iconic website”, cockroachjantaparty.org, had been taken down as part of the latest action against the movement. He also claimed that his personal Instagram account besides the party’s account was also ‘hacked’. So far 10 lakh members alias cockroaches had registered as members through the website, while 6 lakh cockroaches had signed a petition seeking the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged failures in the education system, particularly due to the NEET-UG 2026 ‘paper leak’ controversy.
“Why is the government so scared of cockroaches? But this dictatorial behaviour is opening the eyes of India’s youth. Our only crime is we were demanding a better future for ourselves. But you can’t get rid of us that easily. We’re working on a new home right now. Cockroaches never die,” he wrote in a post on X.
CJP surpassed BJP in its followers on Instagram gaining political attention. As of Saturday, 22 million followers were recorded.
The party came into existence following a controversy over CJI Surya Kant using the term ‘parasites’ and ‘cockroaches’ while reprimanding a lawyer over his plea seeking senior designation.
“There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don’t get any employment or have any place in profession. Some of them become media, some of them become social media, RTI activists and other activists and they start attacking everyone,” the CJI had said.
