  "account": "Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has firmly denied suggestions that he plans to formally enter politics or transform his party into a political entity. Dipke contends that the populace has lost trust in political systems, and hence, the nation requires a public movement rather than a political party. Asserting that political parties are being dismantled by central agencies like the ED and CBI, Dipke questioned the purpose of forming a political party when people have lost faith in politics, the judiciary, and the media. The CJP emerged as a social media movement in May, following a controversy over CJI Surya Kant's use of the term \"cockroaches\" to describe certain youths, which sparked widespread outrage. The movement, which quickly gained momentum, led to large-scale protests against the NEET paper leak at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, resulting in the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. A two-day strategy meeting of the CJP's core team is scheduled for August 5 and 6 in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where the party members will deliberate on the movement's future direction. During a recent statement on X, CJP emphasized its intention to engage with stakeholders and conduct a nationwide listening tour to understand the ground realities and aspirations of the youth.",
