Kathmandu – Abhijit Dipke, the chief founder of the Indian Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) which suddenly became a topic of discussion on social media has drawn a sharp line and distancing his platform from the chaotic political unrest seen across South Asia.
Accusing the Gen-Z youth of Nepal and Bangladesh of being anarchic, he warns against any kind of comparison with them. “Many journalists have been asking me whether this Gen-Z movement could take a form similar to that in Nepal or Bangladesh,” he wrote on X
“I want to make this absolutely clear, such a comparison should not be used to insult or underestimate Indian Gen-Z youth. The young people of this country are far more mature, conscious and politically aware than many might think,” Dipke takes a dig at the movement in Nepal and Bangladesh.
The CJP has rapidly emerged as a massive satirical political movement in India, leveraging viral meme culture to channel systemic youth discontent.
While Dipke strictly maintains that his movement will pursue purely peaceful and constitutional avenues of dissent, critics across the SAARC region continue to point out the destructive nature of the recent neighboring uprisings, citing widespread arson and looting.
Nevertheless, the tangible political power of these youth-led movements remains undeniable, both nations saw long-standing regimes collapse under Gen Z pressure, culminating in the dramatic ousting of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Nepal’s KP Sharma Oli, completely reshaping the geopolitical landscape of South Asia.
What started as a response to a controversial remark made by Justice Surya Kant during an open court session has now exploded into a nation-wide phenomenon crossing 20 million total followers on Instagram.
With a 5-point manifesto and eligibility criteria that includes ‘unemployment’, ‘lazy’,‘chronically online’ and ‘ability to rant professionally’. This movement has garnered the support of the general public as well as key political figures.
