CJP's Open Letter to India's PM: 'We Are the Cockroaches You Cannot Exterminate'

The Cockroach Janta Party has published an open letter addressed directly to India's Prime Minister, signed by over 3 lakh card-holding members. The letter opens with the line: 'We are the cockroaches you cannot exterminate. We are the unemployed, the overlooked, the satirised.' It lists five demands identical to the CJP manifesto and sets a 30-day deadline for a public response. The Print analyses the letter's significance: as a legal instrument it carries no weight, but as a political act it demonstrates that satirical movements can use the machinery of formal political discourse — open letters, deadlines, documented demands — to force real parties onto the defensive.
