Cockroach Janata Party Protests in Mumbai Over Electoral Roll Revision
On October 2, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) led by founder Abhijeet Dipke held a protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah joined the protest, meeting and praising Dipke. The protest faced opposition from local residents citing noise concerns, which lyricist Javed Akhtar criticized as inconsistent compared to political rallies. The CJP called the event a "Jail Bharo Andolan" and plans further demonstrations nationwide.
