The X account of the viral satirical group “Cockroach Janata Party” (CJP) has been withheld in India, triggering widespread discussion on social media. Founder Abhijeet Dipke confirmed the restriction and quickly launched a new account titled “Cockroach is Back.” The group had gained massive popularity within days, especially among Gen Z users, through humorous political commentary and memes addressing unemployment, inflation, and governance issues. Reports say CJP amassed millions of Instagram followers, even surpassing the BJP’s Instagram presence briefly. The incident has intensified debates around online satire, censorship, and digital political expression in India.
