On Saturday, a court in New Delhi granted bail to Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Dipke's party had been leading protests against the deletion of voters from electoral rolls. His detention preceded a march organized by the CJP at Connaught Place, a commercial hub in Delhi, on Friday. The CJP and other opposition parties have been staging protests for several days following a report that raised concerns about decisions involving the revision of voter lists in multiple states and federal territories.
These concerns were submitted to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who subsequently received complaints from two election commissioners. The protests called for Kumar's resignation. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party accused opposition parties and "foreign powers" of attempting to "destabilize the country," while also claiming that the Congress party was undermining constitutional institutions.
Dipke was released after a local court granted him conditional bail, requiring him to sign a peace bond.
