The party’s founder, Abhijeet Dipke, recently alleged that there were attempts to access the organization’s Instagram account. The claim surfaced shortly after the party reportedly surpassed the follower count of a leading political party on Instagram, triggering widespread online discussion.
Dipke shared a screenshot of a message he claimed was from Instagram regarding a password reset request. The message read: “Hi abhijeetdipke, Sorry to hear you're having trouble logging into Instagram. We got a message that you forgot your password. If this was you, you can get right back into your account or reset your password now.” The screenshot also displayed two options: “Login as abhijeetdipke” and “Reset your password.”
Following the post, Dipke wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Now attempts being made to hack Instagram.” The statement quickly gained traction, prompting reactions from social media users. While some expressed concern over account security, others responded with sarcasm and humor, reflecting the increasingly informal tone of political discourse online.
One user commented, “We survive every attack. We are Cockroach.” Another asked, “How to prevent this? Should we raise our voice on a global platform?” A third advised strengthening account security by using a long, complex password and keeping it confidential. Another user criticized the situation, calling it a reflection of the current state of youth engagement online.
Earlier, the party also claimed that its X (formerly Twitter) account had been withheld in India. Dipke shared a screenshot stating, “As expected, Cockroach Janta Party’s account has been withheld in India.” The message reportedly visible in the screenshot read: “Account withheld. @CJP 2029 has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand.”
According to its official website, the Cockroach Janta Party describes itself as the “voice of the lazy and unemployed.” It further states: “A political party for the people the system forgot to count. Five demands. Zero sponsors. One large, stubborn swarm.”
The party has recently gained visibility due to its active social media presence and the growing conversation around its messaging and online activity.
