Who is Santy Sharma? The Ratlam rapper slammed Cockroach Janta Party and accused the founder of having AAP link

Santy Sharma, a rapper and independent music artist, has joined the conversation surrounding the viral “Cockroach Janta Party” (CJP), criticizing the recent internet “trend” of “proving GenZ emotionally” instead of being a serious movement.

“The Janta cockroach party feels more like an internet drama than a serious movement,” Santy said in a powerful post. “Today, many people blindly follow trends without properly investigating the backgrounds of the individuals who run such campaigns.”

The rapper also slammed Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of CJP, for “not focusing on solving real problems” and alleged that he is associated with Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP.

“The founder of this so-called CJP is said to be associated with AAP and has shared several posts in the past that appear to be critical of India itself,” Santy wrote. “If one really claims to be a nationalist, then one should focus on solving India’s real problems – development, employment, education, innovation and national unity – instead of emotionally provoking General Z to street protests inspired by situations in countries like Nepal or Bangladesh.”

The rapper noted that “no political party is perfect, including the BJP, and criticism is a part of democracy”, but said that “creating unnecessary instability, cultural outrage and online propaganda is not the answer to India’s growth”.

He also raised concerns that much of the social media support behind such movements allegedly comes from accounts associated with Pakistan, Bangladesh and other anti-India narratives.

“Indians should be aware of the digital manipulation and propaganda tactics used online,” he wrote. “India needs constructive discussions, not chaos driven by viral trends.”

In an Instagram post, Santy asked relevant authorities to closely monitor such activities and “take necessary steps to maintain peace, stability and national interest”.

Santy Sharma, real name Ganesh Sharma, is an Indian rapper, singer and lyricist hailing from Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh.

Born on September 9, 1996, he is widely recognized as the first rapper to come to prominence from the city of Ratlam and has established himself as a distinctive voice in the independent Desi hip-hop circuit.

Sharma started his journey in hip-hop around 2014. He gained initial regional traction with independent tracks like “Suni Suni Sadko” (2016) and a motivational rap song titled “Udaan” (2017). In 2019, he ventured into more commercial music with “Peeta Daaru”.

He achieved mainstream recognition by making his Bollywood debut in the film Housefull 5, where he wrote and performed an anthemic rap song.

In 2025, he released his debut solo studio album, Reborn, which features a mix of R&B and hip-hop styles. His 2026 singles include the aggressive street track “Tujhi Aichi” (featuring Don YG) and the raw, unapologetic anthem “I Don’t Care”.

In addition to writing singles, he expanded into international projects and took on the roles of senior music composer and supervisor of a dance reality show based in Dubai.

He was recently in the news for publicly supporting rapper Badshah during the ‘Tateeree’ lyrics controversy. Santy argued that referencing competitors and using aggressive theatrics are standard practices in global hip-hop that are sometimes misunderstood by Indian audiences.

The rapper also spoke out against the title of Manoj Bajpayee’s film Ghooskhor Pandat, saying it was disrespectful to the Brahmin community.
