Summary

On October 2, 2026, unauthorized protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar took place in Delhi and Mumbai, with additional demonstrations planned for October 10. The protests were organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and opposition groups, citing concerns over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and alleged mass voter deletions. In Mumbai, thousands gathered at Shivaji Park despite police denying permission, with support from Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), though some residents opposed the demonstration. In Delhi, over 700 protesters were detained near Jantar Mantar, where security was heightened and 11 Metro stations were closed. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke was briefly detained at Marine Drive and announced plans for a Jail Bharo Andolan and nationwide expansion of protests. The CJP announced a separate protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10 if Kumar does not resign, demanding criminal proceedings against him, freezing of the SIR process, and restoration of the January 2025 voters list. Opposition leaders criticized the police action and government's handling of the demonstrations.
