Cockroach Janta Party plans Mumbai protest on October 2 over CEC resignation demand
Party founder Abhijeet Dipke said Mumbai would be the starting point for a wider protest campaign seeking Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation.
The Cockroach Janta Party has announced a protest in Mumbai on October 2, tied to its allegation of electoral rigging and its demand for Gyanesh Kumar to resign. Founder Abhijeet Dipke said the party would take protests to other cities if its demand is not met.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, has announced plans to begin a protest campaign in Mumbai on October 2, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Dipke alleged electoral rigging, though the announcement did not provide details of specific elections or incidents. He said the party would expand its protests to cities across India if Kumar does not resign.
The party has framed the proposed Mumbai action as an alternative to beginning at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. Dipke also criticised opposition parties for continuing to contest elections while questioning their legitimacy.
No venue, timing or route for the Mumbai protest was specified. Residents and commuters may need to watch for any traffic advisories or permissions issued closer to October 2.
