The post went viral, and Dipke responded by jokingly creating the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) — a play on the name of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In the months since the exam was invalidated, the Cockroach Janta Party said 21 students committed suicide.
The Cockroach Janta Party immediately ended its protest movement.
Police cases have been filed against protesters in multiple states led by the ruling party, and the Cockroach Janta Party said more than 100 people have been arrested.
But what’s interesting to note is that the Cockroach Janta Party itself was quick to distance itself from those movements when it started.
