Cockroach Janta, a political movement started as a joke with a social media post that went viral in India has gained 19 million followers more than any other political party. Started by Abhijeet Dipke, a 30 year old political communication strategist, born in India and educated and resident in Boston, USA, it was in response to the Chief Justice bemoaning “parasites” and “cockroaches” about the lazy and unemployed. The party’s website focuses on youth concerns such as unemployment, examination paper leaks and education.
Many of India’s gen Zs and millennials have become increasingly frustrated about a job market that has been failing them, with almost 40% of India’s graduates below 25 unemployed. With 367 million people aged between 16 and 29, India has the largest youth population in the world.
Demonstrators were out on the streets of Delhi this weekend voicing their anger against Narendra Modi’s well-established, right- wing government.
Abhijeet Dipke, born September 29, 1995 in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India, says it was too early to say whether CJP will become a political party and he has faced threats against himself and his family still in India.
The Cockroach Janta Party, 5 May 2026, took off with Uranus just into Gemini trine Pluto and sextile Neptune Saturn in Aries; with Uranus square the North Node; and an opportunistic and lucky Jupiter square Mars. Uranus trine Pluto for an upswelling of rebellion. Saturn Neptune fighting for the underdog in a push to create a fairer society. Tr Saturn in 2027 conjunct the Mars and square the Jupiter will damp enthusiasm considerably.
Uranus is also crossing the India chart Ascendant, 15 August 1947 12 am Delhi hinting at a variety of changes to its image and determination to walk an independent path in future. The India Neptune in the 5th house of children is being opposed this year by tr Saturn for high uncertainty; and tr Pluto moving through the higher-education 9th is moving towards an opposition to the 3rd house Mercury in 2027/28 hinting the bitter disagreements will not die down quickly.
Protests movements like this have a habit of fading over time or being ruthlessly suppressed. And no one at this point expects Modi’s government to fall. But his initial government chart, 26 May 2014 6.13pm Delhi, does have a 5 degree Gemini Sun in its 7th which is catching the jolting-change tr Uranus conjunction from this August on and off into 2027. And continuing the uncertainty and turbulence in 2027/28 tr Uranus will square the 4th house Neptune into early 2028, with tr Saturn conjunct the 5th house Uranus. Part of this may be the shifting sands in global diplomatic relations. But the 4th house Neptune does suggest internal discontentment as well.
Abhijeet Dipke is a late Sun in Virgo in a Half Grand Sextile with his Sun in opposition to Saturn, trine Uranus Neptune in Capricorn and sextile Pluto in Scorpio – very much of his generation with a prominent Uranus Neptune. He certainly hit the mood of the zeitgeist when he sent out a spur-of-the-moment social media post as his Solar Arc Mars was conjunct his Jupiter in enthusiastic Sagittarius and his Solar Arc Sun was conjunct his keen-on-fairness North Node in Libra; with his Solar Arc North Node will be conjunct his Pluto next year, providing another moment of destiny for him. Tr Uranus is also opposition his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint this year for a determined push against authorities. Given that he has an ultra-determined Mars in Scorpio, he is unlikely to lose interest and back off but will run into insuperable obstacles in 2028/29 when tr Pluto squares his Mars.
