‘Our present objective is to create awareness among youth at the grassroots level’ : Cockroach Janata Party

Cockroach Janata Party’s stance on entering politics

New Delhi – Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Education Minister, accepting moral responsibility for the NEET question paper leak. This is being described as a victory for the Cockroach Janata Party. After ending its 36-day agitation, the party’s spokespersons were asked, “Will your party enter politics?” Party spokespersons Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das rejected the possibility.

Das said, “Our focus is on strengthening the youth movement. At present, our objective is to take this movement to the grassroots level. There are already 750 to 800 political parties in India, yet no party is able to fulfil the aspirations of the youth. Therefore, we want to take this movement to the grassroots. Regardless of which party is in power, it will have to fulfil the demands of the youth and work for them. This is our policy.”

Editorial Perspective

What kind of awareness can the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ create among youth when it gives space to people such as Kunal Kamra, who mocked Hindu deities on his own platform during the Delhi agitation; National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, who made the anti-national demand for the reintroduction of Article 370; and actor Prakash Raj, who has made anti-Hindu statements?
