Cockroach Janta Party Launches New Instagram Account After Alleged Social Media Takedowns

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has reportedly launched a new Instagram account after claiming that its official website and backup social media handles were either taken down or hacked. The development has sparked intense debate online, with supporters alleging political targeting and critics questioning the claims.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke accused the Indian government of suppressing opposition voices and described the reported takedowns as “dictatorial actions.” According to Dipke, the party’s primary Instagram account has already crossed 22 million followers, placing it ahead of both the BJP and the Congress party in terms of social media popularity.

The party stated that despite repeated disruptions, it would continue expanding its digital presence through new accounts and alternative online platforms. Screenshots and hashtags related to the alleged takedowns quickly began trending across multiple social media platforms.

Political observers say the controversy highlights the growing importance of social media influence in Indian politics, where digital reach can directly impact public engagement, youth support, and campaign visibility.

Meanwhile, no official government statement has been released regarding the allegations made by the party leadership. Cybersecurity experts have also pointed out that account suspensions or hacks can occur due to multiple reasons, including policy violations, security breaches, or coordinated reporting campaigns.

The incident has intensified online discussions around freedom of expression, digital censorship, and the role of technology platforms in modern political communication.
