A satirical social media movement known as the “Cockroach Janta Party” has rapidly emerged as one of the internet’s most talked-about online trends, amassing more than 10 million followers on Instagram within a short span of time.
The page, widely known for its humorous political satire, memes, and commentary on social issues, has attracted millions of users, particularly young audiences, through viral videos and creative digital content.
Its growing popularity has turned the platform into a major online phenomenon across South Asia.
The movement recently made headlines after its official account on X, formerly Twitter, was temporarily blocked, sparking widespread reactions from followers and digital rights activists.
