Singer Alleges Foreign Funding Behind Satirical Party
American singer Mary Millben made allegations on Wednesday regarding the financing of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), asserting that the political satirical outfit was receiving funds from "select donors" in the United States. Her claims emerged during ongoing protests in Delhi, which have drawn attention to potential foreign involvement in domestic political dissent.
Millben’s assertions were reported by LatestLY on Oct. 14, 2026. She linked the funding of the CJP to a broader strategy she described as targeting conservative leaders globally. According to her claims, this pattern involves identifying U.S.-educated individuals, radicalizing them, and sending them back to their home countries with financial support to create unrest.
The singer stated that while such plots have largely failed in their objectives, they continue to impact the development and governance of the nations targeted by these efforts. Millben expressed support for the Modi government and urged Indian nationals to speak out against foreign forces attempting to disrupt governance in India.
Context of Delhi Protests and CJP
The allegations come amid claims of foreign conspiracy behind demonstrations organized by the CJP and opposition parties. These protests are aimed at removing the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) over alleged electoral roll tampering and an "arbitrary" SIR exercise.
Millben called for a counter-movement, asking young voices to rise up and peacefully protest the "disruptive spirit" of the Cockroach Party to uphold democracy and freedom. She did not name specific individuals within the CJP leadership during her initial claims regarding the funding source.
CJP Founder’s Background
Reports indicate that CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke is a graduate of Boston University. Dipke shifted his base to India after satirical content regarding the ruling BJP dispensation gained significant social media support.
The connection between Dipke’s educational background in the United States and Millben’s claims about U.S.-educated individuals being radicalized and funded has been noted by observers following her statements. However, Millben did not explicitly name Dipke as a recipient of these funds in her public allegations.
Political Implications
The timing of Millben’s comments coincides with heightened scrutiny of the CJP’s activities and its role in the current political discourse in Delhi. The singer’s support for the current government aligns with her criticism of what she described as foreign interference.
No immediate response from the CJP or its leadership regarding the allegations of U.S. funding has been recorded in the available reports. The claims remain unverified by independent sources, standing solely as allegations made by Millben during her public statements on Wednesday.
