Cockroach party
VS
Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is a youth-led movement in India whose chief, Abhijeet Dipke, has been publicly critical of the country's electoral administration.
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is the head of the Election Commission of India, the constitutional body responsible for conducting elections and maintaining electoral rolls.
The two sides are in conflict over the CJP's demand that Kumar resign from his post.
The CJP has issued a 48-hour ultimatum, alleging that Kumar is the "biggest threat to India's democracy" and an "enemy of India," and has threatened to launch nationwide protests if he does not step down.
The dispute also involves the CJP's call for the repeal of a 2023 law, though the research material does not specify its provisions.
The confrontation centers on the CJP's claim that more than 130 million names were removed from draft electoral rolls in a manner designed to benefit the BJP and weaken opposition parties.
The CJP has framed Kumar's continued tenure as a threat to democratic processes, while the research material does not include any response from Kumar or the Election Commission to these allegations.
