Saurav Das's education qualification, career path and rise as CJP's face
CJP spokesperson Saurav Das is an investigative journalist and Amity University alumnus who has pursued independent journalism since 2020. His reporting and growing social media presence have made him one of the movement's most recognisable faces.
For nearly two months, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has dominated national political discourse. What began as a satirical online response to a remark by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant evolved into a nationwide movement, drawing lakhs of students, job aspirants and young professionals onto the streets.
While the CJP says it is led by a collective core team, founder Abhijeet Dipke, spokesperson Saurav Das, policy strategist Ashutosh Ranka and lawyer Ratna Singh have emerged as its most recognisable public faces.
Among them, Saurav Das has attracted significant public attention through his speeches, interviews and social media presence during the protests. But who is he? Here's a look at his educational background and career journey.
