NEW DELHI: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leader Abhijit Dipke announced a nationwide protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. At a press conference, CJP leaders alleged that the BJP panicked after failing to secure an absolute majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and subsequently engaged in the mass removal of names from the voters' list, targeting regional forces and opposition Chief Ministers.
CJP leaders stated that the electoral setbacks suffered by specific opposition party leaders were not coincidental. They argued that the setbacks faced by Uddhav Thackeray, the NCP (led by Sharad Pawar), M.K. Stalin, Pinarayi Vijayan, Mamata Banerjee, and Arvind Kejriwal follow a distinct pattern rather than being mere coincidence. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged that the people's votes are being stolen.
CJP on Instagram asked people who hate Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to unite. CJP leaders questioned how a democracy would function if the move is to eliminate the opposition. In Bengal, the CJP alleged that 50,000 votes were deducted from Mamata Banerjee's constituency, 1 lakh votes from MK Stalin's constituency and 40,000 votes from Kejriwal's constituency.
“Recent reports emerging from the Election Commission indicate that the Chief Election Commissioner is the country's biggest fraudster and traitor, as well as the greatest threat to its democracy. Since Gyanesh Kumar assumed office, the government has been deciding who should receive votes and who should not. Is this democracy? A total of 13 crore votes have been deleted”, said Dipke. The CJP launched an online campaign demanding Gyanesh Kumar's removal.
