It's the story of an online joke that became a viral sensation on social media and started what appears to be the grass roots of a political movement. India's Cockroach Party was founded by a public relations student to parody comments made by India's chief Supreme Court judge about young people. Abhijeet Dipke set up the Cockroach Janta Party 10 days ago, and now has 23 million followers. Indian government-aligned critics call it a Trojan horse for the opposition. Dipke speaks to FRANCE 24's Gavin Lee.
