Thousands of people gathered at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park as Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke arrived at the venue for a protest demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation on Gandhi Jayanti.
The demonstration began amid calls for accountability from the Election Commission over electoral roll revision and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
Dipke Arrives As Protesters Gather
Dipke reached Shivaji Park as supporters and protesters assembled for the demonstration.
Thousands of people gathered at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on Friday afternoon for a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Despite police denying permission for the demonstration, young protesters arrived in large numbers, carrying placards bearing slogans and the national tricolour.
The gathering took place at Shivaji Park in central Mumbai, a prominent venue known for hosting major political rallies and public demonstrations.
Why Is CJP Protesting?
The protest centres on allegations concerning electoral roll revisions and the functioning of the Election Commission.
CJP has demanded the CEC’s resignation and raised concerns over the Special Intensive Revision process. The Election Commission has maintained that its decisions on SIR were taken unanimously and in accordance with established procedures.
Nationwide Protest Plan
The Mumbai demonstration forms part of CJP’s proposed nationwide campaign, with further protests planned in other cities before a proposed sit-in at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
The organisation has described the agitation as a citizens’ movement and called for participants to keep the demonstration peaceful.
