Delhi CJP Protest News LIVE: CJP's Jantar Mantar 2.0 Today Despite No Permission

Delhi has been secured with a significant police presence ahead of a planned protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar. According to Hindustan Times, over 40,000 Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) personnel have been deployed. The CJP, led by Abhijeet Dipke, is demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the electoral rolls.

The Delhi Police has denied permission for the protest, citing public interest and a previous breakdown of law and order in the area, as reported by Live Mint. Despite this, the CJP has proceeded with its plans. As a precaution, entry and exit gates at 45 Delhi Metro stations, including Rajiv Chowk, New Delhi, Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, and Kashmere Gate, will remain closed, NDTV reports.

The CJP's protest is focused on alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with Abhijeet Dipke alleging that around 13 crore voters have been removed from the electoral roll, according to Hindustan Times. The group has been raising this issue through protests and public statements, including a demonstration in Mumbai on October 2.
