The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, demanding his resignation. If the CEC refuses to step down by October 2, the party threatens nationwide protests beginning in Mumbai. CJP founder Abhijeet Deepke vowed to expand the protest to other cities, even suggesting an indefinite sit-in in Delhi, dubbed "Jantar Mantar 2.0."
The party alleges that over 13 crore names were excluded from draft electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise across 30 states and Union Territories. Notably, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka reported over two crore exclusions each. The CJP demands an explanation from the Election Commission regarding the legality, transparency, and reviewability of each deletion.
Deepke also cited reports of disagreements among Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi over SIR-related matters. However, the Election Commission maintains that differences are typical during internal deliberations, with final decisions made unanimously.
