The Cockroach Janta Party is demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resign over alleged irregularities in electoral processes and the conduct of the Special Intensive Revision exercise.

October ten protest planned in Delhi

The CJP announced on October three that it will hold a mass protest at Jantar Mantar on October ten if Kumar does not resign, urging citizens seeking free and fair elections to join.

Party founder pledges peaceful demonstration

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said the protest would strictly follow a non-violent philosophy, drawing structural inspiration from historic civil disobedience to protect public faith in democratic institutions.

Dipke invokes Gandhi's path of non-violence

If Delhi Police tries to stop the march, Dipke said, wherever they stop the protesters will become their Jantar Mantar. We will walk on the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi, he stated.

“And if the Delhi Police tries to stop us, wherever they stop us will become our Jantar Mantar. Ours will be a peaceful protest. We will walk on the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi.”

Cockroaches from across India will march

Dipke said citizens and movement members from every corner of the country would converge in New Delhi. If Kumar doesn't resign, cockroaches from across India will march to Delhi and protest at Jantar Mantar on October ten.

“If Gyanesh Kumar doesn't resign, cockroaches from across India will march to Delhi and protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10.”

CJP vows movement will not be deterred

The CJP leadership said bureaucratic blockades would not deter the movement, pointing to previous prolonged demonstrations and recent detentions as proof of its resolve to fight for democracy.

Mumbai protest precedes Delhi demonstration

The CJP held a protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park on October two, where thousands gathered despite police restrictions to demand Kumar's resignation over alleged electoral roll irregularities and call for fresh agitation in Delhi.

What matters most

The Cockroach Janta Party announced a planned October ten protest in Delhi demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged electoral irregularities and Special Intensive Revision exercise conduct.
