CJP Founder Demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation at Mumbai Protest, Warns of 'Jantar Mantar 2.0'

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke addressed a large protest at Shivaji Park in Mumbai, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged removal of voter names through the Special Intensive Revision process. He warned of a 'Jantar Mantar 2.0' agitation and a subsequent demand for the Prime Minister's resignation if the CEC does not step down. Notable figures including actor Shabana Azmi, music director Vishal Dadlani, and Tushar Gandhi participated, while Shiv Sena-UBT extended political support.

Abhijeet Dipke, who founded the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), put forward a demand on Friday that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar be removed from his post, pointing to what he characterised as discrepancies in voter registration data and directing his objections toward the BJP-led government. A potential "Jantar Mantar 2.0" demonstration was floated, with the assertion that demands for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's departure would be put forward should the Chief Election Commissioner choose not to leave the post. At a Shivaji Park gathering in Mumbai, Dipke put forward the argument that the Special Intensive Revision process — a procedure the Election Commission set in motion after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections — had resulted in voter names being removed from electoral rolls nationwide, and that the integrity of public participation in elections could be affected as a result. Shiv Sena-UBT's MLA Sawant joined the CJP team on the dais, marking the party's participation in the event in a concrete way.
