India News Live Update 2 October 2026: Cockroach Janta Party To Protest In Mumbai On Friday

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced plans to protest in Mumbai's Shivaji Park on Friday, October 2. Founder Abhijeet Dipke revealed this demand on Thursday. The protest is focused on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, criminal charges against him, and a freeze on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) roll.

CJP is also advocating for more transparency in the election commissioner appointment process, including input from civil society. This protest is the first in a series across seven cities, leading to a final demonstration at Delhi's Jantar Mantar later in the month.
