The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has given Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar 48 hours to resign, warning of nationwide agitation if he refuses. The demand follows controversy over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that the Election Commission had undermined rights and demanded criminal proceedings against Kumar. The party also called for the SIR exercise to be frozen and for the 2023 law governing the appointment of Election Commissioners to be repealed. CJP further demanded an independent inquiry into the SIR process. The Election Commission has disputed claims of internal disagreement, saying differing views are part of deliberations and decisions were unanimous.
