  "account": "The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced plans for a nationwide protest on October 2 in Mumbai, should Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar refuse to resign. This Gandhi Jayanti demonstration was announced by CJP national convener Abhijeet Dipke on Twitter. In his statement, Dipke urged Kumar to step down by tomorrow, as the protest would commence from Mumbai and extend to cities throughout India. The CJP leader also criticized the opposition, stating that participating in rigged elections only legitimizes the illegitimate electoral process, thus maintaining the perception of free and fair elections. The CJP contends that the current state of elections, where votes are being stolen and elected representatives are being targeted, is not political survival but rather a desperate attempt to stay alive in a system that threatens its existence.",
