New Delhi, November 15, 2026: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a fresh round of organisational appointments and constituted state and regional coordination committees across 10 states and regions, including Jammu and Kashmir, as part of its efforts to expand its organisational presence and strengthen coordination across the country.
According to details received by The Chenab Times, the appointments were announced on Saturday, November 14. Kshitij Pagar has been appointed as the West Zone in-charge, while Dr Vivek Sangwan has been given responsibility as the North Zone in-charge. Muhammad Junaid and Geegraj Jorli have also been named members of the North Zone Coordination Committee.
In Jammu and Kashmir, the organisation has constituted a four-member coordination committee comprising Advocate Murtaza Kamaal, Mudassir Manzoor, Dr Pranav Singh and Tahira Bano. Their names were featured in an organisational announcement shared by the party on its official Instagram account, introducing the new members of its organisational teams.
The Jammu and Kashmir committee is among 10 state and regional coordination bodies announced by the organisation. The other committees have been constituted for Rajasthan, West Bengal, Haryana, Jharkhand, the Northeast, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Uttarakhand.
According to the organisational announcement, Uttar Pradesh has the largest committee with 16 members, followed by Maharashtra with 15. Jharkhand and the Northeast have 14 members each, while Bihar has 13 and West Bengal has 12. Haryana and Uttarakhand have six members each, Rajasthan has five, and Jammu and Kashmir has four.
The committees are expected to coordinate organisational activities in their respective regions and work towards expanding the party’s grassroots presence. The appointments also establish a regional structure through which the organisation can coordinate its activities beyond its existing online outreach.
The Cockroach Janta Party emerged in May 2026 as a satirical online initiative following remarks by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant referring to unemployed young people as “cockroaches”. The remarks generated public debate, particularly among sections of young people concerned about unemployment and examination-related issues.
Founded by Abhijeet Dipke, the initiative subsequently developed into a youth-led mobilisation platform focusing on unemployment, examination irregularities and public accountability.
One of its major activities was a 36-day agitation at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over the NEET-UG paper leak controversy. The organisation demanded accountability and the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who stepped down from the position on July 25, 2026.
The outfit has also taken up issues concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. It extended support to the INDIA bloc’s November 1 rally in New Delhi against the electoral roll revision exercise.
The latest organisational expansion marks an effort by the CJP to establish a wider network of regional representatives. With Jammu and Kashmir included in the newly constituted committees, the organisation has also established a formal coordination structure for the Union Territory as it seeks to expand its activities across different parts of India.
The organisation has not yet publicly detailed the individual responsibilities or operational timelines of all the newly appointed committee members.
