Inside the INDIA alliance meeting in Delhi, a name echoed that surprised everyone in attendance. That name was the Cockroach Janta Party.

According to reports, National Conference leader and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah mentioned the Cockroach Janta Party during discussions. The mention happened in the presence of senior leaders including Rahul Gandhi, highlighting how the youth-led digital movement has caught the attention of mainstream political figures.

The unexpected mention of the satirical yet massive student movement indicates that established political parties are taking note of the rising tide of youth discontent and the unconventional ways it is being expressed.
