Mary Millben, Abhijeet Dipke exchange barbs over CJP funding
The U.S. singer claimed in a post on X that the CJP is being ‘funded by donors’ in the U.S.
American singer Mary Millben and Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke exchanged barbs on Wednesday (October 14, 2026) over allegations of foreign funding for the protest group led by Dipke. Millben claimed the CJP was funded by U.S. donors and urged Indian youth to peacefully protest the disruptive conduct of the party.
Dipke responded, questioning why Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought support from Americans to discredit his own citizens. Millben argued that Modi does not need American backing, as he has the support of "1.5 billion beautiful Indian citizens" for 25 years, including three consecutive terms as PM. Millben cautioned Dipke that his U.S. donors would abandon him if he failed, urging him to use his education and talent for good and to engage with Prime Minister Modi.
Dipke responded by stating that his donors would abandon him if he did not succeed, and advised him to take his U.S. education and talent for positive purposes, such as sitting down with Modi and being a positive voice for India.
