Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) which is an online movement that has recently gained attention on social media has now announced its three new spokespersons ahead of its planned protest in Delhi on June 6 and the organization said that these individuals will represent the movement and speak to media and public and the three new spokespersons are Saurav Das, Vijeta Dahiya and Ashutosh Ranka: all three come from different professional backgrounds and have been involved in journalism, filmmaking, research, public campaigns and social issues.
Saurav Das has been named the official spokesperson of the movement and according to CJP, Das is an investigative journalist who has spent several years reporting on legal, judicial and social matters and the organization also stated that Das was among the people involved in anti-pollution protests held near India Gate in November 2025 and after joining the movement Das said that many young people feel disappointed because they were promised a better future but are now facing difficulties and uncertainty.
He said the time has come for change.
Another new spokesperson is Vijeta Dahiya who is known as a writer, filmmaker and content creator and Dahiya has previously worked in research and content creation for several YouTube creators including well-known content creator Dhruv Rathee.
He is a graduate of Delhi Technological University and has written books titled Power of Universe and To Hell With That Job and apart from writing Dahiya has also directed Haryanvi films including Dararein and Opri Parai.
The third spokesperson is Ashutosh Ranka who studied at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and later attended London School of Economics and Political Science. Ranka previously worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company in London and he returned to India in 2025 and became involved in several public campaigns in Jaipur which focused on issues related to environment, education and youth concerns.
He also participated in movements connected to Dol Ka Badh issue, Amaira suicide case and NEET paper leak matter.
The controversy began after remarks made by Chief Justice Surya Kant triggered outrage online as during a court hearing the judge reportedly used the terms “cockroaches” and “parasites” while talking about people using fake degrees to enter professions such as law and media and many social media users believed the remarks indirectly insulted unemployed youth struggling in current system. Though Justice Kant later clarified that the comments were not aimed at unemployed youngsters the debate had already exploded online.
Instead of reacting only with anger many internet users responded with humour and satire and that is where the Cockroach Janta Party was born.
On May 16, 30-year-old Abhijeet Dipke posted a Google form on X inviting people to join the “Cockroach Janta Party” and what started as a joke quickly went viral and within hours thousands of people registered online. According to Dipke the response was far bigger than expected and he later said the support was “completely organic” and admitted he never imagined the idea would spread so fast. The party describes itself as “Voice of the Lazy & Unemployed” and jokingly says its headquarters are located “wherever the WiFi works.”
