New Delhi, Oct 7: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Wednesday stood firm on its proposed protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on October 10, with party co-convener Saurav Das informing the Delhi Police about the planned demonstration.

Das, along with party supporters, visited the Parliament Street Police Station and submitted an intimation regarding the protest. The organisation is seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and demanding changes in the functioning of the Election Commission of India.

Speaking after submitting the intimation, Das said the party expects a sizeable gathering and urged the authorities to make appropriate arrangements. He also appealed to people, particularly youngsters, to participate in the demonstration.

“This is not just a one-day protest,” Das said, emphasising that the CJP intends to continue its campaign for electoral reforms.

CJP Steps Up Campaign Over Electoral Roll Revision

The proposed protest comes against the backdrop of the party’s objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The CJP has questioned the Election Commission’s handling of the exercise and has intensified its criticism of CEC Gyanesh Kumar.

Das said the party would continue its campaign even if its immediate demand for the CEC’s resignation is fulfilled. “Our fight is for electoral reforms,” he said, according to the report.

The CJP has also urged its supporters to mobilise in large numbers for the October 10 demonstration.

Security Measures In Focus Ahead Of Protest

With the protest planned in central Delhi, security and traffic arrangements are expected to remain a key focus for the authorities.

The CJP has also alleged that some of its leaders could face arrest ahead of the demonstration. These claims, however, have been made by the organisation and have not been independently established.

The October 10 protest is likely to draw attention to the CJP’s demands concerning the Election Commission and could further intensify its campaign over electoral roll revisions and alleged irregularities.
