‘If They Contest, I Will Support’: Delhi Residents React To Rising ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ Wave

The “Cockroach Janta Party” has rapidly emerged as one of the most talked-about names on social media, recently crossing 10 million Instagram followers and sparking intense online debate about whether it represents a genuine political shift or just another viral internet movement. Reporting from Connaught Place in the heart of Delhi, Times of India’s Ankur Pandey hit the streets to understand what people on the ground really think about the sudden rise of this Gen Z-driven political phenomenon. Reactions from Delhi residents were sharply divided. While some young people said they would support the movement if it officially entered electoral politics, others argued that the party currently exists more as an online trend than a serious political force.
