Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has announced a protest on October 2 at Shivaji Park in Mumbai, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke vowed that the CJP would continue to hold protests in states such as Goa, Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand if Kumar does not step down.
The party also plans to march at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi at the end of October.

Dipke challenged Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying any attempt to arrest protesters during the Mumbai agitation would be a mistake.
