A man visits the web page of the newly formed Cockroach Janta Party on a laptop.
The spiny, long-legged, and often reviled cockroach has become an unlikely symbol of dissent among India's Gen Z, in a sharp rebuke to the ruling establishment in the world's largest democracy.
The Cockroach Janta Party, its name a satirical riff on the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party, has amassed more than 19 million Instagram followers in less than a week, almost double the government's audience.
It owes its existence to remarks made by Chief Justice Surya Kant, widely taken as calling the country's unemployed youth "cockroaches".
