By now, you all might have already heard about the Cockroach Janta Party (a satirical political movement), which was started by Abhijeet Dipke. Many people also know that he completed his schooling in India and pursued his bachelor’s degree in journalism in Pune before going to the US for his master’s in Public Relations at Boston University. He also worked with the Aam Aadmi Party social media team as a volunteer between 2020 and 2023. According to public descriptions, the Cockroach Janta Party began as a satire — a symbolic and sarcastic response to frustrations around unemployment, youth struggles, and the public debate that intensified after the statement associated with CJI Surya Kant comparing unemployed youth to “cockroaches,” which triggered emotional reactions among many young people across the country.

Since then, the movement quickly gained attention online — pages were created, followers increased rapidly, satirical-style content spread widely, and even AI-generated or intentionally absurd/meaningless website elements became part of the internet discussion around it. Because of how fast it grew, many people see it as a genuine expression of youth frustration, while others question how such movements suddenly gain massive reach. Some observers point out that since Abhijeet Dipke worked with a political social media team, he may understand digital engagement, trends, online narratives, and how movements gain followers. At the same time, people also question how much of online support in viral movements comes from genuine citizens, highly active supporters, trend amplification, algorithms, or even fake accounts and bots — something ordinary people often cannot easily know for sure. Maybe they or he wants to make/ become popular and start some kind of so-called Gen Z revolution.

Now, in India, we are seeing mixed reactions. Some people are genuinely supporting this movement because they believe it is speaking for unemployed youth, frustration, and the struggles of common citizens. At the same time, many others are questioning whether this movement is completely organic or whether someone powerful is backing it. Some people are even raising questions about whether global powers could be influencing such movements, especially after seeing political and social developments in nearby countries.

So let’s see the things and analyse.

If we properly observe and analyse the situation, we can try to understand what exactly may be going on. India has many people who are struggling and who genuinely care about society and the country. There are many leaders, influencers, activists, and political parties who constantly raise their voices about problems, issues, and also provide solutions. Many people genuinely work hard for society, speak truthfully, and discuss practical reforms — but they never receive this level of popularity, social media reach, or media attention and they are mostly shadowbanned on internet.

So naturally, some people are asking: Why this one? Why is everyone suddenly covering it?

Many people feel that if a movement becomes so popular, it should also present proper drafts, detailed plans, manifestos, or practical solutions that can genuinely help youth and citizens. Otherwise, there is a fear that it may create hope among frustrated youth about a revolution or massive change, but eventually stop somewhere, leaving people disappointed once again.

At the same time, some people are drawing comparisons with developments in neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bangladesh, where political instability and public unrest became major topics of debate. Some people believe outside forces or global interests sometimes try to influence political situations in countries for power or strategic control and weaken the society. Whether such concerns are true or not in this case is something people debate heavily — but many citizens believe questions should always be asked and situations should be analysed carefully instead of blindly following anything.

Another question many people are asking is why the entire internet and media suddenly seem to be covering this movement so heavily, especially certain outsiders and ideological groups, including sections that many people associate with the left ecosystem, while even media and social media discussions from countries like Pakistan are talking about it. This has created suspicion among some citizens who feel that whenever frustration rises in a country, there can also be attempts by different interests to amplify unrest, increase anger, create hate, or divide people from within.

Many believe enemy countries benefit when citizens become emotionally divided and society becomes unstable. At the same time, this should not be blindly accepted as fact without evidence — genuine public frustration also exists because people are struggling with unemployment, financial pressure, unjust system, corruption and lack of opportunities, etc. That is why people should think carefully, analyse properly, and not blindly follow any movement, trend, hashtag, influencer, or narrative without understanding who is supporting it, why it is growing so fast, and whether it is genuinely helping citizens or only increasing emotional division in society.

That is why people should never blindly believe anyone. Do proper analysis. Ask questions. Observe carefully. And then only support such things.

Maybe this movement is genuine. Maybe the intentions are good. But at the same time, the question remains: there are many other genuine people in India who are also working hard, talking about real problems, giving solutions, and speaking truth — so why do they never receive this level of attention, followers, hashtags, promotion, or support from major influencers and social media trends?

Some people may support it knowingly, others unknowingly. But as citizens, we need to understand that anything can be possible. That is why people should avoid participating emotionally in anything without doing proper research first and understanding who is behind it, what the intentions are, and what the long-term outcome may be.

Meanwhile, leaders of this country should also understand how genuinely struggling people in India are living today. Many citizens are suffering silently — unemployment, financial struggles, emotional pressure, uncertainty about the future. These frustrations are real, and they should not be ignored.

At the same time, we trust that intelligence agencies and institutions of the country will monitor anything suspicious if required — often without the public even knowing the full picture — because that is part of protecting national security. We remain safe because there are people working day and night to ensure stability.

But one important truth cannot be ignored:

The government must, as soon as possible, focus more seriously on the issues of common citizens and genuinely work towards solving them.

Because if struggles continue to grow, if frustration keeps increasing, and if the everyday problems faced by ordinary citizens — unemployment, financial burdens, inflation, lack of opportunities, education, healthcare, corruption, uncertainty about the future, and the constant struggle to survive — continue to be ignored, then one day there may be a peaceful revolution of voices from ordinary people. When people suffer silently for too long, pressure builds — and like a volcano, one day patience can burst.

Take care of the common citizens of this country. Listen to their struggles. Understand their pain.

Because we truly do not know what any situation may lead to in the future.

We should remain united and work together — leaders and citizens — to develop this country instead of constantly creating hate among one another. There must be reforms across all sectors. There must be honest conversations. There must be real solutions for ordinary people.

Listen to them. Solve their problems. What harm have they done?

They were simply born in this country. Most are not asking for luxury — they are only trying to survive, live with dignity, and build a better future without constantly worrying whether tomorrow will be harder than today. Just do your job as leaders. People are good — they always support their leaders, stand with them, trust them, and believe in them even during difficult times. Do not take advantage of that trust. Do not mistake people’s patience for weakness. They place their hopes in leadership because they believe someone is working for them. Do not break that hope. Listen to them, understand them, and work for the people who trusted you with responsibility.

People are not asking for miracles. They are asking to be heard. They are asking for opportunities, fairness, jobs, stability, and a chance to live with respect.

At the same time, many people believe that when governments fail to address public struggles for too long, frustration creates a vacuum — and in such situations, different outside interests, narratives, or powerful influences may try to shape public opinion in whatever way benefits them. Whether through media, digital platforms, ideology, economics, or political messaging, some fear that if a country does not take care of its own people properly, others may try to influence dissatisfied populations in different ways. That is why strong governance, public trust, and solving real issues are important — because a stable and united society becomes harder for any external influence or manipulation to affect.

Otherwise, one day people may naturally come out on the streets to demand change — and no power can easily stop a united public voice.

So before things reach that stage, it is advisable to be cautious, responsible, and act in ways that genuinely help the common citizen.

Do not wait until things become worse.

Because if citizens continue feeling unheard for too long, they themselves will eventually come out and change things.

Don’t wait till then.
