CJP Manifesto Explained · May 22, 2026
CockroachJantaParty's 5 Demands — Explained Simply
CockroachJantaParty (CJP Party) has 5 core demands — known as CJP ki maange or the CJP manifesto. But what do they actually mean? Why do they matter? Here is a simple explanation of each of CockroachJantaParty's 5 demands and why they could change India.
No Post-Retirement Rewards for Chief Justices
What it says: If CJP comes to power, no Chief Justice of India shall be granted a Rajya Sabha seat, pension perks, or any post-retirement reward.
Why it matters: Several retired Chief Justices get nominated to Rajya Sabha or receive lucrative government positions. This creates a conflict of interest — CJIs might be lenient on the government in hopes of a reward later. CockroachJantaParty wants to end this.
Accountability for Deleted Votes
What it says: Election Commissioners must face action under UAPA if legitimate votes are deleted from electoral rolls.
Why it matters: There have been widespread allegations of voter deletion from electoral rolls, particularly affecting opposition voters. CockroachJantaParty argues that taking away someone's right to vote is as serious as terrorism.
50% Reservation for Women in Parliament
What it says: Half of all Parliamentary seats and Cabinet positions must be reserved for women.
Why it matters: The current Women's Reservation Bill reserves only 33% of seats. India has never had a female Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, or Gujarat. CockroachJantaParty demands real representation.
Cancel Media Licences of Corporate-Owned Houses
What it says: Media licences of outlets owned by corporate conglomerates must be revoked.
Why it matters: Major Indian media outlets are owned by conglomerates like Adani Group and Reliance. Critics say this has led to biased coverage. CockroachJantaParty wants independent journalism.
20-Year Ban on Political Defection
What it says: MLAs and MPs who switch parties after winning elections must be banned from contesting for 20 years.
Why it matters: 'Aya Ram Gaya Ram' politics — where elected politicians switch parties for money or power — has plagued Indian democracy for decades. CockroachJantaParty wants to make defection career-ending.
Why These 5 Demands Matter
CockroachJantaParty's 5 demands address fundamental flaws in India's political system: judicial accountability, electoral integrity, women's representation, media freedom, and political ethics. Whether or not CJP becomes a real party, these 5 demands have started important conversations.
