CJP Plans Nationwide Protest Demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation Over Electoral Roll Revisions
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, citing concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls that excluded millions of voters. The CJP plans a nationwide protest starting October 2 in Mumbai, supported by opposition leaders including Aaditya Thackeray and parties like the Shiv Sena (UBT) and CPM. The Election Commission maintains that differing views among commissioners are normal. Critics question the CJP's approach, while supporters see it as a focused challenge to alleged electoral irregularities.
