In Mumbai, protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar are set to begin on October 2, with the CJP (Cockroach Janta Party) planning a Jail Bharo Andolan (Release All Prisoners Movement) at Shivaji Park at 4 pm. The CJP had previously sought permission for this protest but was denied due to a 2013 Bombay High Court order and the area being a silence zone.
Meanwhile, in Delhi, social activists and student groups are organizing a gathering at Jantar Mantar, with AAP leaders backing the protest and demanding Kumar's resignation. The protests stem from a dispute over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, which has been criticized by opposition parties. However, the Election Commission maintains that its three-member commission unanimously made the decisions regarding the SIR exercise.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has urged Mumbaikars to participate in the demonstration and has also met with students at Ambedkar Hostel in Chembur. Notably, singer Vishal Dadlani has joined the CJP Jail Bharo Andolan at Shivaji Park, condemning Kumar and urging people to attend the protest.
