Why are thousands of people protesting in Delhi?
Despite its humorous origins, the CJP group quickly became a lightning rod for India's disaffected young people.
The movement is led by Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old political communications strategist and former student at Boston University.
He has said that the movement was started as a joke, but after offering the option to sign up to the movement through a Google form, he received tens of thousands of responses.
This propelled it forward into becoming a serious protest group.
The trigger for Monday's protests
Police block thousands of 'cockroach' protesters marching on India's parliament
Those frustrations are at the heart of the rise of the Cockroach Janta Party , or CJP, founded by Dipke.
Although the chief justice later withdrew the comment, Dipke embraced the label, turning the cockroach into the movement's symbol.
Monday's turnout reflected how quickly the movement has grown since its first protest in June, when the movement was little more than a fledgling online campaign. Since then, it has spread to cities across India, drawing support from students, professionals, activists and opposition politicians.
