Ratlam Rapper Santy Sharma Calls Out Cockroach Janta Party as Internet Drama, Accuses Founder of AAP Ties and Anti-India Agenda

Sharma did not mince words when addressing the CJP phenomenon, which has spread rapidly across social media platforms in recent months. "Cockroach Janta Party feels more like internet drama than a serious movement," he wrote, adding that many young Indians are blindly following viral trends without researching the backgrounds of the individuals driving such campaigns.

His post reflects a growing concern among independent voices who believe that emotionally charged online movements can be easily manipulated and may lack the structural credibility needed to produce real change. Sharma positioned himself firmly in the camp that demands accountability and research before public endorsement of any political trend or campaign.

The most pointed part of Sharma's statement was directed at Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party. Sharma claimed that Dipke has reportedly been associated with the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal and has previously shared posts that appeared critical of India.

"If someone truly claims to be nationalist, then the focus should be on solving real issues of India, development, employment, education, innovation, and national unity, instead of emotionally provoking Gen Z into street protests inspired by situations seen in countries like Nepal or Bangladesh," Sharma wrote.

These are serious allegations that touch on questions of political motivation and ideological intent behind a movement that has been marketed to young audiences as a non-partisan citizen's uprising. Whether or not Dipke's alleged associations are verified, the claim has stirred fresh debate about who truly controls or benefits from the CJP wave.

Sharma was careful not to come across as blindly pro-establishment. He acknowledged that no political party, including the BJP, is beyond criticism and that holding leaders accountable is a fundamental right in a democracy. However, he drew a clear distinction between legitimate criticism and what he described as outrage culture and online propaganda.

In his view, creating unnecessary instability through viral campaigns does not serve India's long-term interests. The country, he argued, needs constructive discussions and practical solutions, not social media chaos disguised as activism.

This balanced framing appears to be a deliberate effort by Sharma to position himself as a thoughtful commentator rather than a political partisan, a move that resonates with a large segment of young Indians who are frustrated with extremism on both sides of the political spectrum.

One of the most significant claims in Sharma's post was that a large portion of the social media engagement supporting movements like CJP reportedly originates from accounts linked to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and narratives that are hostile to India's national interest.

He urged Indians to stay aware of digital manipulation and propaganda tactics and specifically requested that relevant authorities monitor such activities and take necessary steps to maintain peace and stability. This part of his statement touches on a broader national security conversation that has been ongoing around foreign influence in Indian social media ecosystems, particularly involving movements that gain momentum rapidly without clear organisational transparency.

Born on 9 September 1996, Santy Sharma, whose real name is Ganesh Sharma, is widely regarded as the first rapper to emerge from Ratlam, a city in Madhya Pradesh. He began his journey in hip-hop around 2014 and built a regional following through independent tracks including Suni Suni Sadko released in 2016 and the motivational rap track Udaan from 2017. In 2019, he moved toward more commercial music with the release of Peeta Daaru.

His career reached a milestone when he made his Bollywood debut with Housefull 5, for which he wrote and performed an anthem rap track, bringing him national visibility outside of the independent music circuit.

In 2025, Sharma released his debut solo studio album titled Reborn, a project that blends R&B and hip-hop elements and represents a mature evolution in his artistic identity. His 2026 releases have already made an impression, with Tujhi Aichi featuring Don YG and the unapologetic anthem I Don't Care adding to his growing catalogue.

Beyond music production in India, Sharma has expanded internationally, serving as a senior music composer and supervisor for a dance reality show based in Dubai, demonstrating that his ambitions extend well beyond regional recognition.

This is not the first time Sharma has stepped into a public controversy. He recently made headlines for defending rapper Badshah during the widely discussed Tateeree song lyrics controversy, arguing that the use of aggressive language and competitor references is a standard global hip-hop practice that Indian audiences sometimes misinterpret through a cultural lens unfamiliar with the genre's traditions.

He also spoke out against the title of veteran actor Manoj Bajpayee's film Ghooskhor Pandat, claiming the title was disrespectful toward the Brahmin community, a statement that demonstrated his willingness to engage on issues beyond music and entertainment.

What makes Santy Sharma's commentary on CJP particularly noteworthy is his positioning as an independent artist from a non-metro city who has earned his platform through consistent work rather than industry backing. His voice represents a segment of young India that is neither blindly loyal to any political establishment nor willing to be swept up in viral movements without scrutiny.

As the Cockroach Janta Party continues to attract both supporters and critics across the country, and with its official website recently going offline and new social media handles being created to keep the movement alive, the intervention of cultural voices like Sharma adds a new dimension to the debate. Whether his warnings will slow the movement's momentum or simply add to the noise of a deeply polarised digital landscape remains to be seen.

What is clear is that the conversation around CJP has now moved beyond politics and entered the world of pop culture, where artists, influencers, and public personalities are being drawn into taking sides, willingly or otherwise.
