Cockroach Janta Party surpasses BJP on Instagram, has over 10 million followers: Who is CJP's founder Abhijeet Dipke and how is he linked to Arvind Kejriwal's AAP?

Cockroach Janta Party, a satire website launched just a few days ago, has more than 10 million followers on Instagram, more than the country's ruling party, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP has 8.7 million followers while CJP has around 10.2 million followers, according to the data available at 8.36 am. In one of the posts made by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke took a jibe at the BJP and wrote, "It took just four days and "Don’t underestimate the power of youth,” when it crossed the BJP, at least in followers on Instagram. ‘World’s largest party they said,” the text on the image read in a satire post.

On the other hand, the Congress party’s handle @incindia has roughly 13.2 million followers as of 21 May. The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party handle @aamaadmiparty has around 1.9 million followers.
