CJP Instagram account back after founder Abhijeet Dipke claims it was taken down; here's what happened

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Instagram account has returned after founder Abhijeet Dipke claimed it was removed. Hours after Dipke posted screenshots showing the account was unavailable, the party's X account confirmed the handle had been restored. The party lost access to the Instagram handle on Saturday, which had amassed 26.2 million followers.

Meta, the company behind Instagram, removed the party's account, a claim Dipke denied, stating it was CJP that took the handle down. CJP previously faced issues with its social media accounts, with Dipke alleging his personal account and a backup were hacked by Meta in May. The party plans to launch its "School Thik Karo" campaign on Independence Day, aiming to improve education in rural government schools.

  • Implement three-tier escalation ladder to decide model calls
  • Tier 0 for trivial diffs (≤50 lines, docs/config files) with lint checks only
  • Tier 1 for changes up to 400 lines in code/test files, no sensitive paths

Why We Parse Industrial Code Instead of Embedding It

Most of the industrial AI you have seen is a retrieval pipeline with a chat box on it. Chunk the manuals, embed them, stuff the top matches into a context window, let the model talk. It demos well.

  • Parses ladder logic, structured text, AOIs, UDTs, tag databases, device configs
