Cockroach Janta Party Ratifies Its First National Working Committee
Some young people in India started a group called the Cockroach Janta Party.
It began as a viral online movement.
Now the group has become official and organised.
They chose leaders to run the party.
Abhijeet Dipke, the founder, is the main leader.
Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das will help him as co-leaders.
The party also picked people for media, money, technology, legal work, research, and organising.
They chose four leaders for different parts of India.
In the next six months, they want to start groups in every state and city.
For now, the party says it will not become a political party and will work at the grassroots to help students and improve schools and government jobs.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) ratified its inaugural National Working Committee on August 6, 2026, after a two-day core team meeting.
Founder Abhijeet Dipke (30) was named National Convener, with Ashutosh Ranka (30) and Saurav Das (27) as Co-Conveners.
The committee includes leads for organisation, media, legal affairs, research and policy, technology, and finance, plus four zonal leaders.
Over the next six months, the party plans to set up state coordination committees and Lok Sabha and city-level units across India.
CJP said it will not become a political party at present, will launch a membership drive without raising funds, and will visit student agitators in Jharkhand.
