India’s digital political space has witnessed the emergence of satirical formations such as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the National Parasitic Front (NPF), which have rapidly gained online attention following controversy over remarks comparing unemployed youth to “cockroaches” and “parasites.” While both groups describe themselves as satire, their rapid online mobilisation has drawn widespread engagement and discussion. The developments come amid growing online reactions to remarks made by Chief Justice Surya Kant, which triggered criticism and prompted social media users to respond through organised parody movements.
