New Delhi: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has termed the satirical political movement around the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) as a “politically engineered” operation, rather than simply a youth protest.
In a scathing editorial published in its mouthpiece Organiser, the RSS has said that the CJP phenomenon is part of a “freebie-centric, Left-leaning political ecosystem”.
The editorial in Organiser, titled “Cockroach Syndrome: The new face of anti-India tech cynicism” took aim at the CJP’s five stated goals, which include invoking anti-terror laws against election officials and banning politicians who switch parties, and dismissed them as a “terrifying blueprint for institutional collapse, masquerading as youthful digital rebellion”.
“Demanding an arbitrary, mandated 50% reservation for women in Cabinet positions, completely bypassing parliamentary strength, electoral mandates, and meritocratic realities, showcases a complete, frightening ignorance of constitutional governance. It is a hollow slogan designed for social media engagement, not a serious policy for running a complex nation of 1.4 billion people,” said the Organiser editorial.
The editorial termed the demand to cancel licenses of media houses owned by the Adani and Reliance groups as “textbook, Stalinist communist censorship” and “a vicious, targeted attack on domestic capital”.
Organiser also invoked classical Chanakyan statecraft to make a broader case, saying that a nation is weakened when its youth are “deliberately lured into manufactured despair rather than productive labour.”
In this regard, it views the CJP as a coordinated assault on national confidence rather than a pressure valve for genuine frustration.
The piece argued that the CJP’s founder “loudly idolises the technological discourse of American youth” while ignoring that the supremacy of Western technology was built on massive corporations (the very kind that CJP wants to dismantle).
You cannot demand a semiconductor revolution, Organiser argued, while seeking to cancel the conglomerates capable of funding one.
