The 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP), which is preparing to protest against the irregularities seen in India's education system, has appointed three spokespersons. Former investigative journalist Saurabh Das will act as the party's main spokesperson. Similarly, political researcher and filmmaker Vijet Dahiya and former management consultant Ashutosh Ranka will represent the organization before the public and the media.
The CJP said on social media, 'CJP is committed to changing India's political discourse and it will be led by a new generation of leaders.'
The CJP is preparing to protest on Saturday demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the issue of the leak of question papers of various exams.
The party's founder, who is currently in Boston, USA, Abhijit Deepke will come to India for this movement. Indian education and environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk has also said that she will participate in this demonstration.
Talking to the Financial Times, Deepke said that she is preparing to transform the CJP from a satirical online campaign into a serious youth campaign.
After the Chief Justice of India Suryakant compared unemployed youth to 'cockroaches' and 'parasites', Abhijit Deepke started this digital campaign as a satire. It soon attracted a large number of people on social media.
'We have more than 22 million followers on Instagram. Our official website has more than 1.1 million registered members.
Most of them want to see us as a movement that takes youth issues seriously, not just a satirical or parody party,' said Deepke from Boston, USA. Deepke, 30, has recently completed his postgraduate studies in Boston. Before moving to Boston, he worked in the social media department of the Aam Aadmi Party from 2020-23.
However, he says that the campaign he has started now has no connection with traditional parties. Deepke says that he is not afraid of threats even though he is receiving death threats online.
