Who Is Abhijeet Dipke?

Dipke, a 30-year-old political communication strategist has emerged as the face of one of India’s fastest-growing internet-driven political trends. What started as a sarcastic online response has now evolved into a social media movement attracting thousands of followers and supporters.

Dipke studied journalism in Pune before moving to the United States for higher studies. He recently completed a master’s degree in Public Relations at Boston University and has said he is currently applying for jobs.

Before launching the CJP, Dipke worked with the Aam Aadmi Party between 2020 and 2023, where he was involved in social media strategy and election campaigning. During the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, he reportedly worked on meme-based digital campaigns focused on political messaging and youth outreach.

Why Dipke Launched CJP?

Dipke launched the Cockroach Janta Party after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant reportedly compared youth to “cockroaches". During a court hearing on May 15, the CJI had reportedly said that some unemployed youngsters become journalists, RTI activists or social media users and “start attacking everyone". However, he later clarified that his remarks were misquoted and were taken out of context.

Instead of rejecting the label, Dipke embraced it and built an entire satirical political identity around the term. According to the party’s website, the CJP calls itself the “Voice of the Lazy and Unemployed Youth."

Within just a few days, the movement gained massive traction online, collecting over one lakh sign-ups, launching its own website and anthem, and attracting millions of followers across Instagram and X through memes, reels and political satire.
