The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on October 10 unless Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar steps down. The ultimatum follows a large rally at Mumbai's Shivaji Park on October 2 where thousands gathered despite police denying permission.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke warned of a "Jantar Mantar 2.0" movement and urged citizens seeking fair elections to join the Delhi march. He alleged that 13 crore voters were deleted in two years, claiming the 2024 Lok Sabha margin between the NDA and INDIA bloc was only 2 percent.
“If Gyanesh Kumar doesn't resign, cockroaches from across India will march to Delhi and protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10.”
CJP leader Ajinkya Shinde demanded Kumar face criminal proceedings. He also called for freezing the 2025 electoral rolls and repealing the 2023 law governing election commissioner appointments.
The Election Commission has rejected all allegations of wrongdoing. It stated that major decisions, including the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, were taken unanimously by the full commission.
