Mary Millben Alleges US Donors Fund Cockroach Janata Party

American singer Mary Millben alleged on October 14 that US-based donors opposed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi are funding Abhijeet Dipke and the Cockroach Janata Party, and urged young Indians to organize peaceful protests against the group. The allegation came amid protests in India over election procedures and calls for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign. Millben made the claims in a post on X, where she described what she said was a wider pattern of donors targeting conservative leaders around the world. She alleged that donors recruit people educated in the United States, send them back to their home countries and fund efforts to create political disruption. She also claimed such activity affects governance and development. The funding claim has not been independently established in the material available. The reports provide no financial records or other evidence confirming that US donors transferred money to Dipke or the party. Millben’s remarks therefore remain allegations, rather than verified findings about the group’s finances or donors.
