Man floats 'Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic', says CJP now 'Team Kejriwal'

Just months after political satirical outfit Cockroach Janta Party emerged, took the internet by storm and led a nation-wide movement that made Dharmendra Pradhan resign as education minister, another faction of the outfit called ‘Cockroach Janta Party - Democratic’ has emerged.

The faction is founded by Manish Brahmbhatt, whom several reports identified as an activist. He has leveled several allegations against the CJP, including that after the success of Jantar Mantar protest, the outfit was "sold out and politicised".

“It has now become 'Team Kejriwal',” Bhahmbhatt said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
