Fact-Check: 5 Viral Claims About the Cockroach Janta Party That Are Completely False

CJP's rise has spawned a second wave of content that has nothing to do with CJP. Fact-checkers have debunked five widely-shared claims in the past month: that CJP has registered with the Election Commission, that it received foreign funding, that a named film star is its secret backer, that member cards harvest Aadhaar data, and that the party has announced candidates for 2029. All five are false. BOOM Live traces each claim to its origin and explains why a satirical movement attracts misinformation at the same rate as a real political party — and why the CJP card being free, accountless and locally generated makes the data-harvesting claim particularly easy to disprove.
