CJP Plans Nationwide Protests Demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by Abhijeet Dipke, plans nationwide protests starting October 2, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The CJP also calls for freezing the 2025 voter list, repealing the 2023 Election Commission law, and reforming the appointment process with civil society involvement. Mumbai Police denied permission for the Shivaji Park protest citing legal restrictions, but CJP intends to proceed. The Election Commission denies internal discord, affirming unanimous decisions among commissioners.
