CJP forms National Working Committee to better outreach. See members' list here

Vijay Reddy Mallangi has been apponted as Media Lead while Ratna Singh as Legal Affairs Lead.

With an aim to expand its national outreach, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Thursday announced the formation of a National Working Committee comprising 14 members.

The announcement came hours after CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said the outfit, which gained prominence last month after it led the students’ protests that ultimately led to the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as Union education minister, said it will launch a ‘kya bolti public’ campaign next month to interact with people across the nation and understand their grievances.

“The Cockroach Janta Party formally announces the names of it’s National Working Committee!” the outfit posted on X as it shared the names of the committee members.

Dipke has been named as the National Convener with Saurav Das and Ashutosh Rana as the Co-Conveners. Aafreen Nawaz has been named as the National Secretary.

Ajinkya Shinde has been named the National Organization In-Charge while Deepak Baliyan has been named as Organisation Co-Incharge. Vijay Reddy Mallangi has been apponted as Media Lead while Ratna Singh as Legal Affairs Lead. Vaishnavi Gaur has been named as Research and Policy Lead and Rohan Deshpande as Technology Lead. Yogesh Ingale has been appointed as Finance Lead.

A Zonal Leadership has also been formed with Deepak Balliyan getting the additional charge of North, Mallangi the South Zone, Ankit Bharadwaj the East and North East Zone and Ingale as the West zone.
