“If Cockroaches are Winning, maybe it’s Time to Clean the House” – JKNDP President Asif Nabi Dar on the Meteoric Rise of the CJP

SRINAGAR 21 May 2026–  In a stinging critique of the current political landscape, Jammu & Kashmir National Democratic Party (JKNDP) President Asif Nabi Dar today addressed the viral phenomenon of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The satirical digital movement, which amassed a staggering 10 million Instagram followers in just five days, recently eclipsed the official follower count of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The CJP was born out of online frustration following controversial remarks by the Chief Justice of India regarding unemployed youth.

​Speaking to reporters at the party headquarters, Asif Nabi Dar stated that the overnight explosion of the CJP is not merely a social media trend, but a profound systemic warning.

​”When millions of educated, unemployed youth choose to rally behind a fictional party named after cockroaches rather than mainstream political entities, it isn’t just satire—it is a devastating vote of no confidence in our democracy,” Asif Nabi Dar remarked.

​Asif  Nabi Dar pointed out that the satirical campaign has struck a nerve because it highlights the sheer desperation of a generation left without viable economic prospects.

​The JKNDP President highlighted that traditional political narratives are failing to connect with the digital-first generation. He noted the irony of the ruling party being outperformed on its preferred turf of digital media.

 A satirical account crossing 10 million followers in less than a week proves that conventional PR campaigns are failing to mask grassroots anger.

The movement sprouted from remarks on unemployment, a crisis that Asif Nabi Dar claims both the central government and traditional opposition parties have failed to adequately resolve.

While acknowledging the wit of CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, Asif Nabi Dar urged the youth to eventually channel this digital energy into tangible political reform.

​”We applaud the youth for using humor as a shield and a weapon against institutional apathy,” Asif Nabi Dar concluded. “But let this be a wake-up call for all of us in leadership. If the system continues to ignore the cries of the unemployed, the satirical ‘cockroaches’ of today will become the political reality of tomorrow. It’s time to clean the house and focus on what truly matters: jobs, dignity, and a future for our youth.”
