Maharashtra minister of state for home Pankaj Bhoyar on Saturday said police kept a close watch on the Cockroach Janata Party’s protest against the Election Commission (EC) in Mumbai on Friday to prevent any anti-social elements from disrupting law and order.
“I do not think anybody will try to indulge in such anti-social activities. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Congress too has attacked the BJP government and ECI over alleged irregularities in the electoral system. “The ECI has deleted the names of certain religion from the electoral roll. Not only Gyanesh Kumar, but even PM Narendra Modi and Home minister Amit Shah shoudl resign,” demanded Congress leader Nana Patole.
Bhoyar said that anti-social elements always try to disrupt peace in the city or the state, but the police administration was maintaining a strict vigil on such elements and their activities. If anybody is found to be involved in disrupting law and order, the police will thwart such an attempt,” he said in Nagpur. Addressing the gathering, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said the Shivaji Park protest was the beginning of a wider agitation and warned of a “Jantar Mantar 2.0” if the CEC did not resign. He said the movement would be backed by youth and Gen Z and would spread to other cities before culminating in Delhi.
