Here are four significant links related to the party and its founder.

*I*. X account of the founder: <https://x.com/i/status/2057346693176107394>.
*II*. The profile link of the founder on the FB:
<https://www.facebook.com/share/1A9mngeYPB/>.
*III*. Two very recent news items as regards the huge sensation that the
party has triggered among the chatterati:
*AA*. <

*BB*. <

>.

The founder himself is reportedly a 30-year-old Indian graduate from Boston
University, USA (ref.: <

A Dalit, as per his own deposition.

The title of the "party" itself is visibly a caustic satirical take on a
recent highly controversial comment by the incumbent Indian CJI: <

The party appears to be an updated version of the still extant AAP.
Expression of a revolt by chunks of the privileged against the "system".
In an even purer form. Quite a bit more evolved.
No specific "ideology".
The focus, even if only implicitly, is on "corruption".
The method is "disruption".
The USP: its uniqueness. No alliance. Whatever.
(Here's the manifesto: <https://www.cockroachjantaparty.buzz/manifesto>.)

No physical presence, yet, on the ground.
Nonetheless, a huge sensation in the virtual world. So much so that the
incumbent Modi regime has taken note and is putting efforts to stifle it in
its very infancy. (Ref.: <
https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/insight/centre-blocks-satirical-cjp-x-account-citing-security-concerns/gm-GM79258005
>.)

In a way, has some broad similarities with the (Gen Z) protest movement --
now ensconced in power -- in neighbouring Nepal.
Maybe also with Madagascar -- last October.

The prospects: one, at this point of time, can only speculate.
May just vanish like a meteor making a short and blazing journey across the
sky overhead.
Maybe, even if less likely, would make some lasting impact.
No one can guarantee either.


Peace Is Doable
