CJP plans October 10 Delhi protest if election chief stays

The Cockroach Janta Party said it will march to Delhi and protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10 if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not resign, as the campaign presses complaints about electoral rolls and the Election Commission. The announcement followed a protest in Mumbai on Friday, October 2, where police had denied permission for a demonstration at Shivaji Park but protesters gathered anyway. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced the planned Delhi action and called for supporters to join. The campaign described the protest as peaceful. Its stated demand is Kumar’s resignation; the reports do not establish whether he will step down or whether the October 10 protest will proceed. At the Mumbai gathering, Dipke and other CJP figures alleged that voter deletions and changes to electoral rolls had affected election outcomes. Dipke claimed that 13 crore voters had been deleted over two years and cited alleged deletions in particular constituencies. Those figures and claims were not independently verified in the available reporting, and the underlying records were not provided. They remain allegations by CJP, not established findings.
