An NRIs take on Cockroach Janta Party
Initially when I first heard about CJP, I was really excited. Being an NRI and constantly seeing the kind of shit India, its politicians and its public does/says — I’m filled with anger and sometimes genuinely feel like coming back and starting a fucking party to fix it.
So when I heard about CJP, it felt personal. I thought bc chalo, finally a youth movement — ab shakeup hoga, government ka, bureaucracy ka, transparency aayegi, accountability hogi, etc etc.
Then I read the manifesto. Only 5 points — and honestly, the kind of things I would fix last. There are so many more pressing issues. Why not add things like:
• Performance management of government employees with mandatory termination of the bottom 3-5% performers
• Accountability of all employees and politicians like how they do it in South Korea
• A dedicated anti-corruption squad (not for namesake)
• Increased transparency in governance
What really let me down is that the founder apparently studies in the US. Of all people, someone who has experienced both worlds should know better. I was expecting a much sharper manifesto from him.
My Verdict — gone case hai bc
Note - lets a civil debate. These are my personal thoughts. And i am ok with anyone supporting the party.
