Summary

Multiple protests occurred across India on October 2, 2026, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Delhi Police denied permission for a planned protest at Jantar Mantar organized by the All India Students' Association, Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha, and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan, citing security concerns and anticipating 3,000 to 4,000 participants. Despite police denials of permission, thousands gathered at Mumbai's Shivaji Park for a protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), supported by Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. Protesters alleged irregularities in electoral rolls, with reports citing the deletion of approximately 1.37 crore names. The CJP announced plans to expand the campaign to multiple cities including Goa, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Ranchi. Reports indicate hundreds were detained and internet services were suspended in central Delhi. The Election Commission and government denied allegations of wrongdoing.
