The ‘CJP’ (Cockroach Janta Party) is a youth-based satirical political movement that arose as a consequence of a series of state failures pertaining to the education system in India. Recently, Rahul Gandhi, representing the INC (India National Congress) as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, came out in support of the CJP’s protests.
