CJP protest LIVE: Lockdown-like curbs await Abhijeet Dipke and team in Delhi, security blanket around Jantar Mantar
CJP Jantar Mantar protest LIVE: With a massive turnout expected at the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)'s protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar today, Delhi has been turned into a fortress. The demonstration is scheduled to begin at 10am.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is set to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, with security measures in place to deter potential gatherings. Over 40,000 Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) personnel have been deployed to maintain order in the city. The party's founder, Abhijeet Dipke, is seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls.
The CJP claims that around 13 crore voters have been removed from the electoral rolls since 2024, which they say could influence the outcome of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Delhi Police, however, has denied the party's request to hold the protest, citing concerns over public interest and potential law-and-order issues. As a result, several markets in central Delhi may remain closed on Saturday, while others will operate as usual at the discretion of individual shopkeepers.
