India’s ‘cockroach’ movement demands election chief’s resignation

India’s youth movement called the 'cockroach' party has threatened nationwide protests unless Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resigns by Saturday. Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), announced protests would start in Mumbai on October 2 if Kumar does not step down, following reports linking him to altered voter lists allegedly manipulated to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP. The controversy escalated after a report from Indian Express revealed concerns from two election commissioners about the lists.
