Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, recently uploaded a video on Instagram. He has alleged in a video that the party’s official Twitter handle has been deactivated in India. In the clip, he says the account was first targeted in an attempted hack and later removed from visibility in the country. He appealed to cockroach janta party’s followers to raise their voices and ask why the account handle was withheld
Why the account issue matters
Abhijeet Dipke claims the account action came after the party used the platform to demand accountability over a student suicide and call for the resignation of a minister. He says the party did not post anything wrong and argues that the move raises serious questions about free expression and democratic accountability. Dipke urges supporters to speak up and ask why the account was banned, suggesting that the action was taken in response to the party’s criticism rather than any violation of rules.
Rapid Instagram growth
The Cockroach Janta Party has also been drawing attention for its rapid growth on Instagram. Reports say the satirical movement surged from a few million followers to over 10 million in about four days, with some posts claiming it crossed 12 million within five days.
Politicians and comedians join in
This viral campaign gained even greater momentum when prominent figures—such as politicians and comedians—joined the conversation. Media coverage reports that leaders like Mahua Moitra and Kirti Azad participated in this movement, while comedian Kunal Kamra and other artists also made their presence felt in this online discussion.
