Shashi Tharoor Reacts to the “Cockroach Janta Party” Trend

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has reacted to the viral “Cockroach Janta Party” trend, stating that the strong support it has received from young people reflects growing frustration among the youth. Responding to reports of the account being withheld on X in India, he said that a healthy democracy must allow space for humour, satire, criticism, and free expression instead of suppressing such voices.

Tharoor further noted that the popularity of this digital movement shows that many youngsters are seeking change and want their concerns to be heard. He added that this rising online wave could eventually influence mainstream politics, urging political parties to carefully listen to the message being sent by the younger generation.
