Internet’s latest sensation, the Cockroach Janta Party, saw its “iconic” website go offline on Saturday, with founder Abhijeet Dipke alleging government interference and accusing the BJP-led Centre of acting in a “dictatorial” manner.
Taking to X, Dipke claimed that nearly 10 lakh people had signed up on the website as members. “The government has taken down our iconic website. 10 Lakh cockroaches had signed up on our website… 6 Lakh cockroaches had signed a petition to demand the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan,” he wrote.
“Why is the government so scared of cockroaches? But this dictatorial behaviour is opening the eyes of India’s youth. Our only crime is we were demanding a better future for ourselves. But you can’t get rid of us that easily. We’re working on a new home right now. Cockroaches never die,” Dipke added.
This comes amid widespread outrage over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak, which has sparked protests and frustration among lakhs of medical aspirants nationwide.
The post rapidly gained traction online, further fuelling the unusual rise of the “Cockroach Janta Party” — a meme-led digital phenomenon tapping into youth discontent.

Meanwhile, in a separate post, Dipke said that every attack makes cockroaches stronger.
“You can hack and withhold the accounts but you cannot hack this movement. We are not going to stop and we will keep raising our voice against this autocracy.”
“We are working on a plan to get this movement to continue sustainably and take it to the next level. Will share more soon! Cockroaches never die!” he wrote.
Earlier, Dipke claimed that both his personal Instagram account and the party’s social media handle had been hacked, allegations that only intensified the buzz surrounding the platform.
