The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has announced a Jail Bharo Andolan in Mumbai on October 2 after the Mumbai Police declined to grant permission for a protest at Shivaji Park against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The party's founder, Abhijeet Dipke, stated that the police's decision was unacceptable as it attempted to suppress citizens' voices.
Dipke accused the police of citing restrictions, including a 2013 Bombay High Court order, a Maharashtra government resolution, and concerns over noise pollution and traffic congestion. The police also pointed out that Shivaji Park falls within a silence zone and is near several hospitals. The CJP had previously demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and had raised objections over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
Dipke vowed that if the party is not allowed to hold the protest, they will initiate a Jail Bharo Andolan on Gandhi Jayanti.
