The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) organised a protest on October 10, 2026 to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the complete rollback of the Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The CJP and supporting student/activist groups (such as AISA and AISF) accused the Election Commission of modifying voter lists and favoring the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
