India's 'Cockroach Janta Party' goes viral, spotlights Gen Z worries - World
A five-day-old group called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has gained significant traction in India, surpassing the Instagram followers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The CJP, founded by 30-year-old Abhijeet Dipke, addresses issues like unemployment, inflation, and political representation, resonating with a large segment of young Indians who feel ignored by mainstream politics. The group's rapid growth reflects the anxieties felt by India's youth, as highlighted in a recent Deloitte Global survey that found Gen Z facing financial stress and postponing major life decisions due to economic concerns. Dipke emphasizes the CJP's commitment to democratic and peaceful means of political engagement, while also acknowledging its potential for significant change within Indian politics.
