Addressing those supporting the student movement, Sharma added, “To those supporting CJP, I only ask you to wait. Once the inside story and evidence are revealed, everything will become clear.”
He also indicated that he would speak about the ongoing NEET debate, claiming that while successful NEET candidates in Kota were celebrating their achievements, “some people are allegedly using students as a cover to push their own political agenda,” a subject he said he would explain in detail during the press conference.
Viral Video Triggered Online Backlash
The controversy began after a video of Sharma commenting on the Cockroach Janta Party went viral across social media platforms. In the clip, he described the movement as “just internet drama” while sharing his views on India’s political landscape.
According to Sharma, the fallout extended beyond criticism online. He later claimed that his YouTube channel had been permanently removed and that he had been informed it could not be restored.
Describing the loss as devastating, Sharma said the channel represented “11 years of dreams, struggles and memories.” He also alleged that the removal was linked to the online hate campaign directed at him following the controversy. YouTube has not publicly commented on the reported takedown.

From Independent Music To Bollywood
Born Ganesh Sharma in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, Santy Sharma began his independent music career in 2016 with Suni Suni Sadko. He later built a following through tracks such as Udaan, Koshish Meri, Fake Stars, Mujhe Pyaar Kar, Gangsta, The Valentine Song, Peeta Daaru, Black Heart, and his album Reborn.
More recently, he entered Bollywood by contributing to the soundtrack of Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5, expanding his reach beyond the independent music scene.
What Sparked CJP Dispute?
The current controversy stems from Sharma’s remarks on the rapidly growing Cockroach Janta Party movement. In the viral clip, he argued that while every political party, including the BJP, deserves criticism, “creating unnecessary instability, outrage culture, and online propaganda is not the solution for India’s growth.”
