支持“蟑螂人民党”的示威者，手持国旗，于2026年10月16日在新德里要求印度选举委员会主席甘纳什·库马尔辞职。
Supporters of the Cockroach People's Party, waving national flags, demand the resignation of India's chief election commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, in New Delhi, October 16, 2026.
自法国10月17日示威活动边缘发生的暴力事件后，阿纳布·古斯瓦米在共和国电视台的播出中抓住了这一机会。这位以极端民族主义观点闻名、频繁被指控散布虚假信息的主播，将巴黎的抢劫行为大胆地与印度新兴的“蟑螂人民党”进行类比，该党是一个由Z世代驱动的运动，近年来一直在和平抗议，要求罢免选举委员会主席甘纳什·库马尔。
Since the violence on the sidelines of the October 17 demonstrations in France, Arnab Goswami has been making the most of it on the Republic TV airwaves. The anchor, known for his ultranationalist views and frequently accused of spreading misinformation, drew a bold parallel between the looting in Paris and the Cockroach People's Party, a Gen Z-driven Indian movement that has been holding peaceful protests in recent weeks to call for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
库马尔被指控通过修改选民名册偏袒印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪所在的政党。他在10月19日的激烈社论中写道：“蟑螂们如Dipke和Saurav Das（蟑螂人民党两位领导人）想要什么？他们想要巴黎正在发生的事……（……）看看蟑螂在巴黎做了什么（……）他们把世界上最美丽、最伟大的首都给推倒了，巴黎正在燃烧。”现场画面不断出现标语“激进左派和伊斯兰主义者点燃了巴黎”。
Kumar has been accused of favoring the party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by revising electoral rolls. "What did the 'cockroaches' like Dipke and Saurav Das [two leaders of the Cockroach People's Party] want? They wanted exactly what is happening in Paris. (...) See what the cockroaches have done in Paris (...). [They] have brought one of the most beautiful and greatest capitals in the world to its knees. Paris is burning," he said in one of his incendiary editorials on October 19. On screen, the chyron "The radical left and Islamists have set Paris on fire" appeared repeatedly.
