5 Demands of Cockroach Janta Party: The Complete Manifesto 2026 — Satire Meets Real Politics

The Cockroach Janta Party Manifesto: 5 Demands That India Needs

The Cockroach Janta Party manifesto is simple. Five demands. No fine print. No "we'll look into it." No committees. No task forces. Just clear, actionable, and — some might say — terrifyingly sensible demands.

As the Cockroach Janata Party (also called the Cockroach Janta Party or CJP) says: "Five demands. Zero sponsors. One large, stubborn swarm."

Here is the complete breakdown of the Cockroach Janta Party's 5 demands.

Demand 1: No Retired Chief Justice in Rajya Sabha

"If the CJP comes in power, no Chief Justice shall be granted a Rajya Sabha seat as a post-retirement reward."

This is where Cockroach Janta Party politics draws a bright red line. The judiciary is supposed to be independent. When retired Chief Justices get cozy Rajya Sabha seats — often with ministerial perks — it creates a conflict of interest. Did that judge rule a certain way because they were hoping for a political sinecure later? The Cockroach Janata Party says: end this practice. Now.

Demand 2: Arrest the CEC Under UAPA for Deleted Votes

"If any legit vote is deleted, the CEC shall be arrested under UAPA, as taking away voting rights of citizens is no less than terrorism."

This is the most talked-about demand of the Cockroach Janta Party. Strong words? Absolutely. But consider this: if someone hacks your bank account and steals your money, they go to jail. If someone deletes your vote — your voice in a democracy — shouldn't there be even stronger consequences? The Cockroach Janta Party believes your vote is sacred. Touch it, and face the law.

Demand 3: 50% Reservation for Women

"Women shall receive 50% reservation, not 33%, without increasing the strength of Parliament. 50% of all Cabinet positions shall be reserved for women."

The Women's Reservation Bill passed in 2023 promises 33%. The Cockroach Janta Party says: why stop at 33%? Women are 50% of India's population. They should hold 50% of the seats. Without increasing the size of Parliament. Without excuses. Without "let's study it further." And 50% of Cabinet positions? Yes. No asterisks. No "we'll try."

Demand 4: Cancel Media Licences of Ambani and Adani

"All media houses owned by Ambani and Adani shall have their licences cancelled to make way for truly independent media."

This is where the Cockroach Janta Party India movement takes on concentrated corporate power. When two business groups control the majority of India's news media, what happens to independent journalism? The Cockroach Janata Party says: media cannot be free when it is owned by those who need political favours. Cancel the licences. Start fresh.

Demand 5: 20-Year Ban for Defecting Politicians

"Any MLA or MP who defects from one party to another shall be barred from contesting elections — and from holding any public office — for a period of 20 years."

Floor crossing. Aaya Ram Gaya Ram. Defection has been the curse of Indian democracy for decades. Politicians switch parties for power, money, or to avoid arrest warrants. The Cockroach Janta Party says: you defect, you're done. 20 years. No elections. No public office. No loopholes.

Why the Cockroach Janta Party Calls Itself "Satire"

The Cockroach Janta Party describes itself as "A work of satire" on its official website. But behind the humour is a serious point: sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. The demands of the Cockroach Janata Party are not impossible — they are deliberately bold to force a conversation that Indian politics keeps avoiding.
