On 14 October 2026, American singer Mary Millben took to the platform X to share a series of statements that quickly attracted attention. She wrote that she would not stay silent, setting the tone for what followed. In the same post she asserted that the United States was providing financial support to India’s Bharatiya Janata Party through "selected donors." She framed this as part of a broader pattern of foreign interference aimed at unsettling Indian politics.
Millben went on to claim that foreign powers were behind the demonstrations taking place against the BJP, the Congress and other opposition parties. She linked those protests to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, saying that the exercise was removing millions of voters from the rolls. In her view, the Chief Election Commissioner, Jnaneesh Kumar, ought to be removed because of his role in the SIR exercise. These points were presented without accompanying evidence.
Within the same stream of posts, Millben made an indirect reference to the founder of the BJP, noting that the individual had studied at Boston University. She did not elaborate further, but the mention was intended to suggest a connection between American institutions and the party’s leadership.
She alleged that the CJP was receiving funding from donors in the United States, money she said was being used to create chaos across India.
Amid the allegations, Millben also declared her support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government. She positioned herself as a defender of the current administration, contrasting her stance with the accusations she was leveling at foreign actors and domestic opposition groups.
Millben then turned her focus to a lesser‑known entity she called the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). She alleged that the CJP was receiving funding from donors in the United States, money she said was being used to create chaos across India. According to her, this external financing was intended to destabilize the country’s political landscape.
In the same vein, Millben urged Indians to launch a counter‑movement aimed at upholding democracy and freedom. She framed this as a necessary response to the perceived threat posed by the CJP and its foreign backers, urging citizens to organize and resist what she described as an illicit inflow of cash.
Millben specifically called on Indian youth to take to the streets, insisting that those who opposed Prime Minister Modi were the ones financing the CJP. She asked young people to protest, portraying the demonstrations as a way to expose and counteract the alleged foreign‑funded scheme.
She further claimed that the CJP was backed by individuals who were themselves opposed to Narendra Modi. This line reinforced her narrative that the party was not a grassroots effort but a tool wielded by Modi’s detractors, bolstered by money originating from the United States.
The article that collated Millben’s statements notes that none of these allegations have been independently verified. It presents the singer’s assertions as accusations that have not been substantiated by external sources, leaving the claims in the realm of unverified speculation.
