'Will be there': CJP backs INDIA bloc, Rahul Gandhi march to Supreme Court against CEC

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has backed INDIA bloc’s march to the Supreme Court over alleged “vote chori”, with CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka saying the organisation would participate in the protest.

“All of us, all political parties and student organisations who are fighting at their own level stand in solidarity. Our team will be there. We hope the entire country comes together to fight this dictatorial regime,” Ranka told reporters.

Opposition parties led by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi are scheduled to march peacefully to the Supreme Court at 1.30 pm and submit a memorandum to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant over the alleged electoral malpractice.

Rahul Gandhi has also called for a news conference on the protest. In a post on X he said, "March for Democracy. March for Justice. Chalo Dilli."
