Within days CJP's Instagram page had amassed more than millions of followers, far surpassing the 8.8 million followers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the platform.-The CJP became an overnight sensation after remarks attributed to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant comparing certain unemployed youth and social media activists to "cockroaches" and "parasites" during a court hearing. Though the CJI later clarified that his remarks were aimed at people entering professions with fake degrees and said his comments were "misquoted," the damage - or depending on who you ask, the meme magic - was already done.-The party, which started as a satirical movement in response to Chief Justice of India's remarks, held its first press conference on Wednesday in Delhi, a day after appointing three spokespersons — Investigative journalist Saurav Das, political researcher and filmmaker Vijeta Dahiya and former management consultant Ashutosh Ranka.-Its founder departed for India on Friday and was likely to land in Delhi at around 8 am on Saturday. Amid anticipation of huge turnout given the massive youth support to the outfit, Dipke took to X on Thursday and appealed to his supporters to not come to Delhi airport. “Instead, I will be going to the Parliament Street Police station to seek permission directly for our peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar,” he said. We are law abiding citizens and have to act responsibly, he said, asking people to be mindful that nobody should create any kind of disturbance.-Since being floated, CJP's support base has only grown and also includes prominent figures like activist Sonam Wangchuk and actor Prakash Raj. Sonam Wangchuk, who has been fighting for Ladakh's statehood, is also expected to join the CJP protest on Saturday.
