CJP Protest Mumbai and Delhi Rally Demand Poll Chief’s Resignation

Mumbai – (Special Correspondent/Web Desk) – The CJP protest Mumbai rally on Friday is adding fresh pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Gen Z-led Cockroach Janata Party wants the head of the Election Commission to resign.

A separate group of students and activists will gather at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on the same day. They are asking for the same thing.

The CJP says it will not stop at Mumbai. The party plans to hold more demonstrations across the country in the coming days.

The row is about a voter list revision that has split opinion in India. Protesters say the Election Commission changed the voter rolls in a way that helps Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The commission and the government reject this claim. They say the work was lawful and fair.

The dispute has put the Election Commission under heavy watch. For years, many Indians saw it as one of the country’s most trusted bodies.

Pressure on Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar grew last month. The Indian Express newspaper reported that his two deputies raised concerns at least 14 times in 10 months.

According to the report, their worries covered voter list revisions, registration steps and the commission’s digital systems.

The commission has answered that differing views are normal during internal talks. It says every step it took was within the law.

The revision exercise began last year and covers the whole country. Critics say millions of eligible voters have been dropped from the rolls.

The commission says the goal is simple. It wants to remove duplicate names, dead voters and people who are not eligible, so the lists stay accurate.

CJP convenor Saurav Das spoke to the news agency ANI on Thursday. He said the right to vote is the last tool people have to bring change.

He warned that this tool is now under threat. “We will only end the protest after Gyanesh Kumar resigns,” he said.

Opposition parties are also getting ready. The Congress party and its allies will start their own protests on October 6, with the same demand for Kumar’s exit.

The CJP itself is a surprise force in Indian politics. It began earlier this year, built on online anger over joblessness and leaked exam papers.

The party is led by Abhijeet Dipke. It rose to national fame after it led mass protests over the exam paper leaks.

Those protests led to the resignation of India’s education minister. It was one of the biggest setbacks Modi has faced in recent years.

Now the same youth movement has turned its focus to the voter rolls. For the government, the timing is hard.

Protests in Mumbai and Delhi, followed by Congress action next week, could keep the story in the headlines. Much will depend on how the Election Commission responds.

For now, both sides are standing firm. The protesters want Kumar gone, and the commission insists it did nothing wrong.
