CJP Founder Demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation Amid Threat of Nationwide Protests

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke demands the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, warns of nationwide protests if he doesn't resign within 48 hours.

He said, as quoted by PTI, “Jantar Mantar 2.0 will definitely happen if CEC Gyanesh Kumar doesn't resign.”

Noting that Kumar posed a threat to India’s democracy, he claimed the government was deciding who gets to vote and who does not since Kumar became Chief Election Commissioner.

“In total, more than 13 crore votes have been deleted. This is not a small number,” Dipke said, adding that the alleged deletion amounted to around 13-14% of the total votes.

Referring to the 2024 Lok Sabha election, he further questioned whether the alleged deletion was intended to widen the 2% margin between the opposition and the ruling party. “Is Gyanesh Kumar deleting them intentionally to widen that 2% gap so that they never lose office? Why is this being done? What was the need to delete so many votes?..." he asked.

Dipke claimed that 50,000 votes were deleted from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s constituency, 100,000 from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s constituency and 40,000 from former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s constituency.

“In West Bengal, 50,000 votes were deleted from Mamata Banerjee’s constituency, and she lost by a margin of around 15,000 votes. In MK Stalin’s constituency, 100,000 votes were deleted, and he lost by about 45,000 votes. In Delhi, 40,000 votes were deleted from Arvind Kejriwal’s constituency, and he lost by a margin of 4000-5000 votes,” he said.

He further alleged that vote deletions in Kerala prevented Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan from winning.

“This cannot be a mere coincidence; there is a clear pattern,” Dipke said.

“But in a democracy, if you wipe out the entire opposition, can it still be called a democracy? Is it a free and fair election?" he questioned.
