Santy Sharma, Indian rapper and independent music artist, has said Cockroach Janta Party appears to be “more internet drama than a serious movement” in a strong-worded post on social media. On his Instagram account, he wrote, "Cockroach Janata Party feels more like internet drama than a serious movement,” adding that many people tend to follow online trends without questioning them. He also alleged that party's founder Abhijeet Dipke had previously been associated with Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party and had shared several posts in the past that he felt were critical of India itself.
Sharma further argued that if the intention was truly rooted in nationalism, the focus should be on addressing real issues such as employment and education rather than emotionally pushing Gen Z towards street protests.
“No political party is perfect, including the BJP, and criticism is part of democracy. But creating unnecessary instability, outrage culture, and online propaganda is not the solution for India’s growth,” he wrote.
According to him, India needs meaningful conversations and practical solutions, not “chaos driven by viral trends.” His remarks on social media influence, digital activism, and online political culture triggered strong reactions across platforms such as Instagram, X, and YouTube.

Santy Sharma's full statement on Cockroach Janta Party
“Cockroach Janta Party” feels more like internet drama than a serious movement.
Today, many people blindly follow trends without properly researching the background of individuals leading such campaigns. The founder of this so-called CJP has reportedly been associated with AAP and has shared multiple posts in the past that appeared critical of India itself.
If someone truly claims to be nationalist, then the focus should be on solving real issues of India — development, employment, education, innovation, and national unity — instead of emotionally provoking Gen Z into street protests inspired by situations seen in countries like Nepal or Bangladesh.
No political party is perfect, including BJP, and criticism is part of democracy. But creating unnecessary instability, outrage culture, and online propaganda is not the solution for India’s growth.
It is also concerning that a large portion of the social media support behind such movements reportedly comes from accounts linked to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other anti-India narratives. Indians should stay aware of digital manipulation and propaganda tactics used online.
India needs constructive discussions, not chaos driven by viral trends.
I request the concerned authorities to monitor such activities carefully and take necessary steps to maintain peace, stability, and national interest.”
