Mumbai has a date
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, wrote on Friday that a nationwide protest starts in Mumbai on 2 October if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has not resigned by 26 September. The CJP is the satirical movement that grew in May after a chief justice compared unemployed young people to cockroaches.[1]
The Indian Express reported that two election commissioners raised objections with Kumar at least 14 times in 10 months, mostly over the updating of voter lists. India's Election Commission said differing views are a normal part of deliberation and that its actions were lawful.[1]
Delivery still sits with the commission
The opposition Congress party called marches on Friday for Kumar's removal and an independent review. A crowd in Mumbai on 2 October makes the demand visible. Deletions and restorations on the voter lists stay inside India's Election Commission, the body whose chief Dipke wants removed. The 26 September date is also a march calendar for Gandhi Jayanti, the holiday the party itself named.[1]
On 26 July this column wrote that the CJP had turned street pressure into items addressed to four institutions, and that on three of those items delivery stayed with the institutions the protest had targeted.[2]
The same constraint now points at the commission itself. The sign to read after 2 October is Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, or a public answer from India's Election Commission to the 14 objections.[1]
