Cockroach Party. India threatens protests and demands resignation of election commission head

The Indian National Cockroach Party (CJP) has demanded the resignation of the head of the Election Commission of India Gyanesh Kumar. Otherwise, the movement is threatening to resume protests, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke wrote in X.

“If Gyanesh Kumar does not resign by tomorrow (September 26), the CJP will launch a nationwide protest from Mumbai on October 2 and extend it to cities across India,” he said. The demands for Kumar’s resignation have already been joined by the leader of the Indian National Congress, the largest opposition party in parliament, Rahul Gandhi.

Gyanesha Kumara is updating voter lists. The department says that the procedure only updates the lists. According to critics of the initiative, the commission arbitrarily removed several million voters from the lists. Mr. Dipke has already called the head of the electoral commission “the main threat to Indian democracy.”.

Abhijit Dipke founded the National Cockroaches Party in May, following a statement by a Supreme Court justice who compared unemployed youth to cockroaches. In the summer, mass protests took place in India, in which supporters of the CJP took an active part. Protests began in New Delhi and other major cities in India over leaks of irregularities in university entrance exams and escalated into a movement against corruption and unemployment. Shares have waned following the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on July 26 and promises by the authorities to reform the education system.
