CJP claims Instagram account restored after being taken down, Abhijeet Dipke calls out 'bloody cowards'

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke claimed on Saturday that the party's official Instagram account had been taken down by Meta, sharing screenshots that showed the account was unavailable. CJP stated on X that Meta had removed the party's Instagram handle, but later managed to regain access to the account. Dipke called the party "bloody cowards" for taking down the account.

The screenshots posted showed the CJP's official Instagram page as unavailable or "user not found". CJP's official X account also claimed that the Instagram page had been taken down but later recovered. The party accused "those who oppose CJP" of "choosing India's Independence Day to try to muzzle our voice" and vowed not to be intimidated by such "cowardly acts".

In May, Dipke alleged that his Instagram account was "hacked" and that he could not access it, stating that Meta had taken down the backup Instagram account used by the CJP. Dipke's X post also stated that he had lost access to his Instagram account and was trying to recover it.

CJP will launch its "School Thik Karo" campaign in Dipke's village in Maharashtra's Hingoli district on Independence Day. The campaign aims to improve infrastructure and accountability in rural government schools. Dipke spoke to reporters after returning from Delhi and said he would commence the campaign in his village and request the sarpanch to repair the local government school and ensure basic amenities like benches and drinking water.
