Cockroach Janta Party announces new social media team

The Cockroach Janta Party, the viral youth-led satirical movement known for its online following and sharp commentary on unemployment and governance, has formalized its digital team.

The group named Vishal Siani, Nisar Alam, Gaurav Bharthi, Shadab Saifi, Rosy and Soni as coverage coordinators. Jatin will serve as social media coordinator, Arvind Khicher as campaign coordinator, Faizan Siddiqui as creative network coordinator and Shekar Prajapati as production coordinator.

CJP has relied on social media, memes and rapid online campaigns to spread its message. It is now organizing its communications across states and managing the movement’s expanding digital presence.

The movement gained national attention by leading protests over the NEET-UG examination and alleged paper leaks. It organized mass demonstrations at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding accountability and structural reforms. Environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk later joined students on an indefinite hunger strike calling for the Union education minister’s resignation.

After protests and legal battles over cases filed against demonstrators, the Supreme Court quashed FIRs against genuine student protesters. The Centre committed to honor agreements on compensation for affected families and clearing the legal charges, after which CJP called off its planned protest marches. The new team will now focus on keeping supporters engaged and maintaining the movement’s online momentum.
