The viral “Cockroach Janta Party” website is taken down, its founder Abhijeet Dipke says in statements reported by multiple outlets. Dipke attributes the shutdown to the BJP-led Centre and accuses the government of acting in a “dictatorial” manner, adding that the action targets online expression.
The reports also say Dipke claimed the satirical platform drew large participation. Times of India, specifically, says about 10 lakh people had joined the platform, and that around 6 lakh users signed a petition calling for the Education Minister’s resignation linked to the NEET-UG controversy.
Across the coverage, the common points are that the website is no longer accessible according to the party’s founder, and that Dipke publicly criticizes the government’s role in the takedown. The reports do not present additional official reasons for the shutdown from government or platform authorities, focusing instead on Dipke’s allegations and the party’s claimed user engagement.
