The Story in Brief
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) technology lead Rohan Deshpande has posted a call for unpaid volunteers to fill seven tech roles, including Backend Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Frontend Engineer and Security Engineer. The recruitment post, shared on X, asks applicants to dedicate 'decent' time to building 'real tools for a real movement'. Interested candidates can apply via an online form.
The drive follows the party's announcement of a National Working Committee to expand its structure. Founder Abhijeet Dipke is National Convener, with spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka as Co-Conveners. Separately, the Times of India reports Dipke condemned an alleged police lathi-charge on Jharkhand student protesters and expressed solidarity with hospitalised student leader Devendra Nath Mahto.
The Indian Opinion
Calling volunteers 'unpaid' while asking them to build tools for a 'real movement' invites two reactions: admiration for transparency or a smirk at how politics mirrors start-up culture. The party is new, so judging its tech ambitions is premature. What will settle its seriousness is whether it releases clear expense reports or functional public dashboards within six months. The Jharkhand police action claim, still a single-source allegation, demands independent video evidence or a hospital report before anyone calls it a 'crackdown'.
