CJP to launch nationwide protest from Mumbai if CEC Gyanesh Kumar does not resign

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday said the party would launch a nationwide protest from Mumbai on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti, if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not resign by Saturday.

Dipke said the protest would begin in Mumbai and later be taken to other cities across the country.

“If Gyanesh Kumar does not resign by tomorrow, CJP will begin its nationwide protest from Mumbai on 2 October, and take it to cities across India. This Gandhi Jayanti let’s pledge to save democracy,” he said in a post on X.

The announcement came a day after Dipke demanded Kumar's resignation and warned of a “Jantar Mantar 2.0”, if the CEC failed to step down within 48 hours.
