Patna, May 24: A political controversy has erupted in Bihar over the online trend known as the ‘Cockroach Public Party.’ Dilip Jayaswal, the state’s Minister for Revenue and Land Reforms, has launched a sharp critique of this movement. He described those involved as directionless individuals who contribute nothing positive to society.
While speaking to the media during the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Training Campaign in Katihar, Jayaswal stated that some unemployed youth are attempting to mislead the country through such activities. He asserted that India’s democracy is robust enough to withstand such trends and campaigns.
In his remarks, the minister used controversial terms, comparing these individuals to ‘cockroaches’ and ‘rats.’ He emphasized that such people cannot harm Indian democracy. His statements have sparked debates in political circles and on social media.
The ‘Cockroach Public Party’ trend gained attention following a Supreme Court hearing on May 15. During the proceedings, Justice Suryakant remarked that some unemployed youth, who fail to establish themselves professionally, spread everywhere like cockroaches.
This comment faced significant backlash, prompting Justice Suryakant to clarify that his words were misinterpreted. The next day, a social media user named Abhijit Dipke shared a Google form on the X platform, inviting people to register for the so-called ‘Cockroach Public Party.’ Initially, it began as an internet joke and satire but gradually evolved into a significant symbol of public frustration regarding unemployment, politics, and governance.
Simultaneously, Jayaswal also made a statement demanding a strict ban on cow slaughter during Eid-ul-Azha in West Bengal. He highlighted the special religious significance of cows in Sanatan Dharma and expressed his support for cow protection.
Following these statements, a new debate has emerged at both political and social levels.
