India news: Cockroach Janta Party announces Delhi march for October 10, calls for election chief's resignation

The Cockroach Janta Party has called for a protest in Delhi next week if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not resign. Meanwhile, the Indian men's cricket and hockey teams are eyeing gold at the Asian Games.

Delhi police have detained over 700 protesters during a rally at Jantar Mantar, prompting the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to announce a nationwide march on October 10 unless Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resigns. The party called for the protest in response to a march in Mumbai's Shivaji Park that drew thousands of demonstrators.

The CJP's founder and convener, Abhijeet Dipke, expressed that if the Chief Election Commissioner does not resign, the party will march to Jantar Mantar and protest there. Dipke urged citizens to join the peaceful demonstration, emphasizing it as a fight to preserve free and fair elections in the country.
