CJP Demand #1 calls for an end to the practice of appointing retiring Chief Justices of India to Rajya Sabha seats. The Cockroach Janata Party argues this blurs the line between judiciary and legislature — a concern that gained urgency after the May 2026 cockroach remark controversy.
What CJP Proposes
CJP’s manifesto asks that retiring CJIs not receive Rajya Sabha nominations, preventing what supporters call a “revolving door” between the Supreme Court bench and political appointments.
Why Youth Care
Gen Z supporters link this demand to judicial accountability — if judges can become legislators, critics argue, controversial remarks face fewer consequences.
