CJP Protesters Rally at Shivaji Park Demanding Election Commissioner's Resignation

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) held a 'Jail Bharo Andolan' protest at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on Friday, led by founder Abhijeet Dipke. Activists demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral roll irregularities. Police monitored the event as a silence zone, while Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis dismissed the claims as a 'fake narrative' that had already been addressed by the Election Commission.

Demonstrators gathered beneath the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, emphasizing constitutional protection. Despite previous police denial of permission for the gathering, supporters maintained their presence. The CJP confirmed its movement remains independent and will not participate in the Opposition’s upcoming October 6 protest.
