Summary

Multiple opposition parties, civil society groups, and political organizations are planning protests on October 2, 2026 (Gandhi Jayanti) against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, primarily over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The AAP, INDIA bloc, Left parties, and Cockroach Janta Party are among those organizing demonstrations. In Delhi, a protest is planned at Jantar Mantar but Delhi Police have not granted permission, with the area designated as prohibited and gatherings of more than four people restricted. In Mumbai, the Cockroach Janta Party plans a 'Jail Bharo Andolan' at Shivaji Park, though Mumbai Police have denied permission citing a 2013 High Court order. AAP leaders allege that 1.37 crore names have been deleted from electoral rolls. The INDIA bloc plans district-level marches from October 2-8, an Opposition MPs' march to the Election Commission on October 6, and a meeting with the President in the second week of October. Earlier protests saw detentions of CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby and members of the Monitoring Committee of Indian Muslims. The Election Commission maintains the SIR is intended to ensure electoral roll accuracy.
