In response, Deepak wrote, "What if all the cockroaches came together?" Following this, an online campaign called "Cockroach Janata Party" began on social media, and quickly attracted significant engagement. In terms of Instagram followers, CJP has surpassed the Bharatiya Janata Party, the ruling party at the Centre. According to reports, 600,000 people have registered. The party's social media following includes several prominent politicians and celebrities.
