Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has a message for the political pressure group Cockroach Janta Party — demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi directly.
“First, you demanded the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. Now you’re demanding the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar. I say, go ahead and directly demand the boss’s resignation.
Speaking at a conclave of a news channel, Aam Aadmi Party’s national convener said in a veiled remark that whatever Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar did was at “the behest of the boss”. Everything is happening at his behest,” Kejriwal said during the conclave, a clip of which he shared on his X account with the same caption. “Now the movement should be for Narendra Modi’s resignation,” he added.
CJP had said it will launch the countrywide protest from Mumbai. However, on Sunday, Dipke said the Mumbai Police has denied permission for launching its protest against Gyanesh Kumar in the city on October 2, following which, he warned that the CJP will launch a Jail Bharo Andolan in Mumbai on Gandhi Jayanti if their “right to protest” is denied. He claimed that Kumar had removed the names of 13 crore people from electoral rolls and “defrauded” them. He also questioned why the BJP was “defending” Kumar over these allegations.
On Monday, CJP’s Ashutoh Ranka asserted that they will not back down from their demand of the CEC’s resignation.
