  • Narendra Modi and the Cockroach Janata Party

    Narendra Modi and the Cockroach Janata Party
    Jun 15 2026
    Adam and Ethan look into the rise of a youth-led political movement that has made the lowly cockroach a key figure in the current political landscape in the country of India. What started with a joke response to remarks made by one of India's top justices has grown into a legitimate threat to the reign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose time in office has been plagued by broken promises and rampant youth unemployment. Can founder Abhijeet Dipke turn the online attention into real world opposition to the Modi regime, or is the Cockroach Janata Party just a viral moment in history fueled by social media antics?
