Cockroach Janta Party Launches Nationwide Expansion Amid Calls for Political Reform Less than two weeks after concluding its successful protest at Jantar Mantar, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a series of initiatives aimed at expanding its influence across India. The group, which maintains it is a social organization despite its political activism, unveiled plans for a nationwide membership drive, a public dialogue initiative, and an organizational restructuring. These announcements were made during a two-day core committee meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, marking a significant step in the group’s evolution. The CJP’s new “Kya Bolti Public” initiative, meaning “What is the public talking about,” seeks to engage with ordinary citizens from diverse regions of the country. The group also plans to launch a crowd-funding campaign to support its expansion efforts. While education reforms remain a central focus, the CJP has broadened its agenda to include electoral and judicial reforms, as well as demands for institutional and media accountability. The party’s first national working committee reflects a youthful leadership structure, with members ranging in age from 25 to 35. This committee includes Abhijeet Dipke, the founder and national convenor, along with co-convenors Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das. Other key roles are held by Ajinkya Shinde as executive head, Deepak Baliyan as co-incharge, Aafreen Nawaz as national secretary, and Vijay Reddy Mallangi as media lead. The committee also features specialists in legal affairs, research, technology, and finance, underscoring the group’s emphasis on structured governance. The CJP’s organizational framework is divided into five zones—north, south, east and north-east, and west—each led by designated coordinators.#chhatrapati_sambhajinagar #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke #saurav_das #ashutosh_ranka
CJP Nagpur Unit Remains Inactive, Awaits Central Leadership Directive Nagpur: The Nagpur unit of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) continues to remain inactive, with members awaiting further directives from the party’s central leadership in Delhi. Despite repeated warnings from the party’s top brass, including founder Abhijeet Dipke and chief spokesperson Saurav Das, about the possibility of launching another nationwide peaceful protest, the Nagpur wing has not yet mobilized or planned any action. The central leadership had previously set a deadline for the government to withdraw FIRs registered against protesters, but no progress has been made on this front. According to sources within the Nagpur unit, members are currently in a dormant phase, with no protest plans, mobilisation drives, or organisational activities underway. While internal discussions and informal meetings among members have continued, no formal call for action has been issued either by the local unit or the party’s top leadership in Delhi. The Nagpur wing is said to be closely monitoring developments at the national level and is waiting for further instructions from the central leadership. “There has been no communication or directive from the top brass so far regarding any fresh agitation,” a source said. The development comes after the party’s earlier nationwide protests, including the agitation at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, which saw clashes between protesters and police. The aftermath of the protest led to several FIRs being registered, with CJP leaders demanding their withdrawal. “If FIRs filed against our fellow protestors in Mumbai and Delhi are not withdrawn, we will take to the streets again.#nagpur #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke #jantar_mantar #saurav_das
