The Kakroch Janta Party (CJGP) has intensified its campaign calling for the resignation of the Election Commission of India’s Chief Justice Kumar. Party leaders say the demand stems from what they describe as serious flaws in the voter‑list preparation process. They insist the protest will continue until the chief steps down, a stance reiterated after a weekend of police action.
CJGP alleges widespread irregularities in the Independent Revision of Voter Lists, a routine exercise meant to keep electoral rolls accurate. The party claims that this process has led to the removal of 13 crore voters from the rolls, a figure they present as evidence of systematic bias. These allegations form the moral foundation of the movement’s demand for the chief’s resignation.
On Saturday, 2026-10-05, police moved against the CJGP, arresting several of its leaders. The crackdown was described by the party as an attempt to suppress the growing dissent. Despite the detentions, CJGP officials declared that the arrests would not deter their resolve.
Following the protests, CJGP National Organizing Secretary Ajinkya Shinde held a press conference.
Following the protests, CJGP National Organizing Secretary Ajinkya Shinde held a press conference. He told reporters that the government’s fear of the movement shows they have already won half the battle. Shinde also declared, "Police can arrest as many people as they want, but we will not back down until Justice Kumar resigns," reinforcing the party’s unyielding position.
The party called on youth, students, and the broader public to join a demonstration at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The gathering is set for Sunday, 2026-10-11 at 10 AM. CJGP urged citizens to come to the site and, if police try to detain them there, to continue the protest from wherever they are held.
Shinde advised demonstrators that even if police detain them at one location, they should keep protesting from that very spot. He summed up this tactic with the remark, "Police can detain anywhere, but continue the protest from that place." The guidance reflects a strategy of turning police action into further publicity for the cause.
CJGP specifically targets Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, arguing that the leaders’ apparent fear of the agitation proves its effectiveness. The party says the duo’s reaction demonstrates that the movement is already achieving its goal of pressing for accountability in the electoral process.
