India's Cockroach Janta Party is planning to hold a protest in Mumbai to demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, over allegations of irregularities in the revision of voter lists.

The controversy erupted last week when the Indian Express newspaper reported that two of the three election commissioners raised multiple ⁠objections over voter registration procedures which have seen millions struck off the voter list.
