CJP Demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation, Plans Nationwide Protests from October 2
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by Abhijeet Dipke, has demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation within 48 hours, alleging electoral roll irregularities and voter disenfranchisement during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The CJP threatens nationwide protests starting October 2 in Mumbai, expanding to other cities, including a potential 'Jantar Mantar 2.0' sit-in in Delhi. The Election Commission denies wrongdoing, citing unanimous decisions despite internal objections from two commissioners. The CJP also urges opposition parties to boycott elections they consider rigged.
