Thousands Protest in Mumbai, Demand CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation

Thousands gathered at Mumbai's Shivaji Park on October 2 for the Cockroach Janta Party's protest, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation despite police denying permission. Backed by Shiv Sena-UBT and MNS, with celebrities like Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah present, protesters cited alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions and sought transparency in CEC appointments. The CJP demanded freezing the 2025 voter list and said protests would spread to other cities if demands go unmet.
