The landscape of social media politics has evolved beyond mere speeches and hashtags. In recent days, a relatively new political entity known as the Cockroach Janta Party has emerged as one of the most discussed names online. From a rapid surge in followers to experiencing account restrictions and now an alleged hacking attempt, the party's digital journey has become a major topic of conversation across various platforms.
Alleged Hacking Attempt on Instagram
The latest development comes from the party's founder, Abhijeet Dipke, who claimed that unauthorized attempts were being made to access the party's Instagram account. This claim surfaced shortly after the outfit reportedly surpassed the follower count of a leading political party on Instagram, sparking widespread online discussion.
Dipke shared a screenshot of a message allegedly sent by Instagram regarding a password reset request. The message read, "Hi abhijeetdipke, Sorry to hear you're having trouble logging into Instagram. We got a message that you forgot your password. If this was you, you can get right back into your account or reset your password now." The screenshot also displayed two options: "Login as abhijeetdipke" and "Reset your password."
Sharing the update on X, Dipke wrote, "Now attempts being made to hack Instagram." The post quickly garnered reactions from social media users, who shared their views in the comments section.
- One user wrote, "We survive every attack. We are Cockroach."
- Another commented, "How to prevent this? Should we raise our voice on a global platform?"
- A third user advised, "Update the password to at least 50 characters and don't tell anyone. Your first priority is to protect all these."
- Another reaction read, "This is seriously so annoying, and my head is in pain seeing the state of our youth!!!"
X Account Withheld in India
Prior to the Instagram claim, the party had already addressed action taken against its X account in India. Dipke earlier shared a screenshot and wrote, "As expected, Cockroach Janta Party’s account has been withheld in India." The message visible in the screenshot stated, "Account withheld. @CJP 2029 has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand."
What is Cockroach Janta Party?
According to its official website, the Cockroach Janta Party describes itself as the "voice of the lazy and unemployed." The website further explains, "A political party for the people the system forgot to count. Five demands. Zero sponsors. One large, stubborn swarm." The party has recently gained visibility online due to its growing social media activity and the discussions surrounding its messaging.
