    ‘‘Don’t make it Kejriwal’s team’’: Manish Brahmbhatt launches Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic

    Manish Brahmbhatt, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic, announced the launch of a new political platform on Thursday, promising a focus on transparency, accountability, and democratic decision-making, according to news agency ANI.



    Citizens can join the organization through its official social media handles, a WhatsApp number, and a dedicated missed-call facility.



    “We are launching Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic. Today, we are announcing social media accounts, a WhatsApp number and a missed-call number for the nation,” Brahmbhatt stated. He added that the platform intends to build its national leadership through a democratic process where members actively participate in key decisions.

    “This is the country's movement. The country has awakened. Try to form the country's team in a democratic way. Form your own team, but don't make it Kejriwal's team,” Brahmbhatt said.



    Criticizing how other political groups were structured, Brahmbhatt alleged that volunteers were often ignored in favor of handpicked individuals. He cited a specific volunteers' meeting in Delhi where participants' mobile phones were reportedly confiscated to prevent recording, calling such practices a direct violation of political transparency.



    Highlighting his background in anti-corruption campaigns, Brahmbhatt clarified that his stance has always been aligned with public issues rather than specific political entities. He pledged that the new platform would oppose corruption and the "gutter system" across all states and party lines.

    “Their agenda is only to defeat one party. They have no intention to speak for the people or raise their voice against a corrupt system, no matter which party or state is involved. That is why today we are establishing the Cockroach Janta Party Democratic,” he noted.



    Brahmbhatt reiterated that the party’s national executive would be chosen democratically and that internal operations would remain completely open.



    “Every decision of ours will be taken transparently and democratically, after taking everyone's opinion. This is our promise to everyone and to the country,” he said, inviting volunteers and the public to join the movement.
