Cockroach Janta Party Faces First Rebel as Former Volunteer Launches Breakaway Platform CJP-D
Brahmbhatt says the breakaway platform will choose leaders through a democratic process and focus on transparency and accountability, not party politics.
- On Sep 3, 2026, founder of Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic Manish Brahmbhatt announced the launch in New Delhi, India, urging volunteers to build a transparent national team rather than making it "Kejriwal's team."
- Brahmbhatt claimed the initiative emerged from concerns that established movements ignored people's issues, alleging their agenda is "only to defeat one party" and ignores the "gutter system" of corruption regardless of government.
- During a volunteers' meeting in Delhi, participants' mobile phones were allegedly confiscated, which Brahmbhatt cited as evidence that political interests had overtaken the movement and volunteers were not adequately consulted.
- To facilitate participation, Brahmbhatt announced social media accounts, a WhatsApp number, and a missed-call facility, inviting "Anyone" who supports transparency and accountability to join the new platform.
- The organization aims to identify its national team through a democratic process, with Brahmbhatt promising that "Every decision of ours will be taken with transparency" to challenge established political systems.
