The Cockroach Janta Party said it will lead a nationwide march on October 10 in New Delhi if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not step down, following recent protests in Mumbai and Delhi.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced plans for a mass march to New Delhi on October 10, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The call follows a large, police-denied gathering at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park and a recent protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar that resulted in the detention of several opposition figures and students.
CJP founder and convener Abhijeet Dipke warned that if the commissioner does not resign, “cockroaches from across India will march to Delhi and protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10.” He added that any police attempt to stop the march would turn the point of resistance into “our Jantar Mantar,” and described the action as a peaceful protest following Mahatma Gandhi’s principles. Dipke framed the demonstration as “a fight to save our democracy.”
The party’s mobilization comes after authorities detained more than 700 demonstrators on October 2, citing Section 163 restrictions that prohibit assemblies of more than five people. While the Mumbai rally proceeded without a police crackdown, the Delhi protest faced a ban and subsequent arrests.
The CJP movement, which began as an online satire campaign in May, has escalated to street demonstrations, including a July 20 protest that led to the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after police used batons to disperse crowds.
