New Delhi: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has announced a nationwide protest if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not resign within 48 hours.

The Cockroach Janta Party has announced three demands following The Indian Express report on differences within the Election Commission of India. CJP said, as part of its protest, it would organise demonstrations across the country.

After The Indian Express reported on Wednesday about the objections within the Election Commission of India, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke posted on X, “Gyanesh, it’s done bro!”

The news organisation, in a special investigation, reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected at least 14 times over the last 10 months to decisions taken and orders issued without their knowledge. 

CJP’s demands

While addressing the press conference, CJP national spokesperson Saurav Das announced the party’s three demands.

The first is Kumar’s resignation. Das said the upcoming elections should be put on hold immediately.

The second demand is to freeze the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and roll back the electoral rolls to the January 2025 voter list.

CJP’s third demand is to constitute an independent inquiry commission to examine the decision-making processes involved in the SIR.

CJP also held the Supreme Court ‘equally culpable’.

Das argued that all election-related documents should be submitted for examination before ‘they are burnt to ashes’.

Dipke called on citizens to fight for their fundamental rights and urged political parties to come forward ‘for the nation’.

He also labelled Kumar ‘anti-national’ and called him ‘the biggest threat to Indian democracy’.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:

  1. This could be their last stunt. I have seen more people telling me how wrong they were about the CJP than any people doing the opposite. Game over guys. Pack yours bags and tell your AAP bosses the same.

  2. Hah, the cat is put of the bag ! Did the education system of India change and all is hunky dory out there now ? opportunists ! and stooges too ! And then they think “but why do people vote that way” ! Bro, you are not the only “intelligent” breed out there. Populace of India is literate enough to detect bulls***ry the moment they smell it.

  3. CJP and Dipke are following the AAP playbook.
    Except this time, the common people are smarter.
    They know that when the opposition wins (Kerala, Punjab, Tamil Nadu), the SIR process and the EC are absolutely fine.
    It is only a problem when the opposition loses.
    Get a life, bro!
    Do something useful. Don’t be a tool in the hands of the CIA.
