CJP announces membership drive, public dialogue, expansion plan, national working committee

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which recently concluded its protest at Jantar Mantar, is set to embark on a new phase. The organisation, despite still identifying itself as a social group, announced plans for a nationwide membership drive, a public dialogue initiative, and an expansion plan during a core committee meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

The CJP has introduced its 'Kya Bolti Public' initiative, encouraging public discussions on various issues, including education, electoral and judicial reforms, and accountability in media and institutions. The new leadership of the national working committee comprises young millennials and Gen Z members, aged between 25 to 35 years, aiming to bring a fresh perspective to the party's agenda.

The CJP is also planning to launch a crowd-funding initiative to support its growth and will establish a zonal architecture across the country, beginning with a team already present in Ranchi to address ongoing protests against cancelled state examinations. The organisation asserts it is not a political party and will not endorse any political party, focusing solely on addressing youth issues and holding political systems accountable.

The next six months will see the establishment of State coordination committees and Lok Sabha and city-level units across India.
