  "account": "Activist Manish Brahmbhatt unveiled the Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic (CJP-D) on September 3, 2026, positioning it as an alternative to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). He criticized the Abhijeet Dipke-led group for diverging from the student-led movement that initially propelled it. Brahmbhatt claimed the CJP had transformed into a select team aligned with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) under its leader Arvind Kejriwal, no longer representing the original volunteers and protesters. The new CJP-D aims to unite the collective strength of the movement's participants, he announced. The CJP, initially a satirical platform, staged a student-led protest in Delhi over education-related issues, later intending to broaden its reach nationwide. Brahmbhatt charged that the current leadership of the CJP failed to reflect the broader movement and included too many AAP members while omitting volunteers from other parties and protest participants. He questioned the representation of women, Muslims, Sikhs, and students in the CJP leadership, stating the original movement had focused on student concerns about examination paper leaks. The activist led protests against the CJP's core committee composition, alleging over 450 coordinators from the Jantar Mantar agitation were left out. Brahmbhatt urged the new CJP-D to establish a democratic national team, involving all volunteers and protesters in decision-making, expressing concern if the group solely followed Kejriwal's agenda without considering the wider movement.",
  "summary": "Manish Brahmbhatt alleged that the CJP's newly constituted leadership did not adequately reflect the wider movement, and several members associated with AAP had been included, while volunteers associated with other political parties and those who had participated in the protests were left out",
