The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has released a list of do's and don'ts for its upcoming protest scheduled for June 6 at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The organization, which began as a small joke on social media, has amassed over 22 million followers on Instagram, surpassing the follower count of any other political party in the country.
Protest Demands
The CJP has called upon citizens to voice their dissent against alleged irregularities in several major examinations, including NEET, CBSE, CUET, and SSCDG. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the party's spokespersons appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, labeling him as an incompetent leader and citing repeated instances of paper leaks.
Call to Action
In a post on X, the CJP stated, "June 6, 9am — See you tomorrow, fellow cockroaches. We will not stop until we secure Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation! Time to turn this tiny joke into a revolution. Get ready to swarm the streets of Delhi with peaceful and loving dissent. But remember what to do and what NOT to do. All eyes are on us!"
The Do's List
- Carry the Tiranga (Indian flag) and a book
- Record everything
- Report miscreants
- Apply sunscreen, get a cap, stay hydrated
The Don'ts List
- Don't come alone if you can help it
- Don't throw the flowers, offer them
- Don't engage trolls or provocateurs
- Don't show up hungry
The CJP's protest aims to highlight the need for accountability in the education system, with the party emphasizing peaceful and lawful demonstration. The organization has grown rapidly through social media, leveraging humor and grassroots engagement to mobilize supporters.
