Abhijeet Dipke election integrity protests

Overview

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has issued an ultimatum demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke has accused the Election Commission of rigging elections and criticized opposition leaders for participating in processes that he claims provide a “false sense of legitimacy” to results.

If the resignation is not met, the CJP plans to launch a nationwide agitation beginning in Mumbai on October 2. The party is also calling for criminal proceedings against the Commissioner, a freeze on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, and the repeal of the 2023 law concerning the appointment of Election Commissioners. Dipke has specifically alleged that over 130 million voters have been removed from electoral rolls.

These accusations follow reports of internal disagreements within the Election Commission regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, including objections raised by commissioners regarding voter registration and data access.

Responses to the CJP’s demands have been dismissive; Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma characterized the resignation ultimatum as “laughable,” stating that constitutional positions are not subject to such demands. Dipke continues to urge opposition parties to boycott elections they believe are rigged to avoid legitimizing a manipulated process.
