The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), launched by Boston University student Abhijeet Dipke, has become a significant youth movement in India. Sparked by a controversial remark from the Chief Justice of India comparing unemployed youth to cockroaches, the CJP reclaimed the insult as a political symbol. The movement gained traction on social media, rallying Gen Z against education scandals and demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, which was eventually achieved.
