CJP unveils social media team as movement shifts from protests to digital campaigns

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has formally announced a ten-member social media and communications team, marking the youth-led movement's most structured step yet towards organised digital operations after months of protest-driven mobilisation.

The team, introduced via a social media post on September 6, covers five functional areas: six coverage coordinators across regions, a social media coordinator, a campaign coordinator, a creative network coordinator, and a production coordinator.

Coverage Coordinators: Vishal Siani, Nisar Alam, Gaurav Bharthi, Shadab Saifi, Rosy, Soni
Social Media Coordinator: Jatin
Campaign Coordinator: Arvind Khicher
Creative Network Coordinator: Faizan Siddiqui
Production Coordinator: Shekar Prajapati

The appointments come as CJP's ground protests — the 37-day Jantar Mantar sit-in against the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, amplified by Sonam Wangchuk's 26-day hunger strike — have wound down. The Supreme Court invoked Article 142 to quash FIRs against genuine student protesters; the Centre committed to compensation and case withdrawal; CJP called off its planned September 5 march.

The movement's visibility has always been digital-first: memes, short videos, rapid-response campaigns, and a satirical "party" frame that turned a Chief Justice's remark about "youngsters like cockroaches" into a national talking point. The new structure aims to translate that viral reach into sustained coordination across states.
