On October 1, 2026, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced plans for a protest in Mumbai on October 2. The demonstration, led by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, will demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, along with three other demands concerning the functioning of the Election Commission of India (ECI).
These demands include initiating criminal proceedings against Kumar, freezing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and restoring the January 2025 voter list, as well as repealing the 2023 law and implementing reforms to the Election Commission.
The protest comes in the wake of alleged differences within the Election Commission, which CJP claims jeopardizes the poll body's commitment to serving the country's interests. The Election Commission, however, has rejected suggestions of internal discord and affirmed that all three commissioners approved its decisions.
Despite the Mumbai Police denying the CJP permission to hold the protest at Shivaji Park, the party remains committed to the demonstration. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke warned that if the protest was denied, the party would launch a "Jail Bharo Andolan" (Nationwide Prison Movement). The protest is set to extend beyond Mumbai, with similar demonstrations planned in Bengaluru, Goa, Kolkata, Patna, and Ranchi.
