CJP Demands Resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Amid Allegations of Electoral Rigging
CJP Calls for Action Against Chief Election Commissioner
New Delhi: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has issued a demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of compromising voter rights. The party has threatened to initiate a nationwide protest, including a significant event dubbed 'Jantar Mantar 2.0', if Kumar does not resign within the next 48 hours.
During a press briefing, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke claimed that the electoral system has been manipulated, effectively stripping citizens of their voting rights.
"Should Gyanesh Kumar fail to step down in 48 hours, we will commence a nationwide demonstration, culminating in a protest in Delhi," Dipke stated, emphasizing that if the CEC remains in position, 'Jantar Mantar 2.0' will certainly take place.
He further urged opposition parties to refrain from participating in elections if they suspect rigging is occurring.
"If you are aware that elections are being manipulated, participation is not an option. A stand must be taken," he asserted.
Dipke labeled Kumar as the "greatest threat to Indian democracy" and accused the Election Commission of determining voter eligibility.
"Who is Gyanesh to take away our voting rights?" he questioned, advocating for legal action against him.
These statements followed a report from The Indian Express, which highlighted ongoing concerns raised by two election commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. They have reportedly objected on multiple occasions to decisions made without their consent, raising questions about the integrity of the electoral process.
