Why Is He In The News?

Dahiya's appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the Cockroach Janata Party, which has rapidly gained traction among young Indians through its criticism of issues such as exam paper leaks, youth unemployment and governance failures.

The movement recently named three spokespersons to represent it before the media:
• Saurav Das, Chief Spokesperson
• Vijeta Dahiya, Official Spokesperson
• Ashutosh Ranka, Official Spokesperson

The appointments signal the party's attempt to move beyond viral social media messaging and establish a formal communication structure.

Why Is He Facing Backlash?

Soon after Dahiya's appointment, clips from his older videos resurfaced online, prompting criticism from sections of social media users.

Critics accused him of promoting politically motivated narratives and questioned some of his past remarks.

However, these allegations have not been independently verified, and Dahiya has not publicly responded to many of the claims.

Supporters, meanwhile, argue that his work reflects political analysis and historical interpretation rather than ideological advocacy.
