In fact, on October 10, CJP has announced to protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Gyanesh Kumar has been accused by opposition parties, social organizations and CJP of snatching away the voting rights of voters through SIR.

There is a lot of political uproar in India after this report. Although the Election Commission later clarified on this issue, the opposition's allegations against Gyanesh Kumar continue.
CJP co-founder Saurav Das, in a post on Saurav Das wrote, "We are worried about their lives. BJP is behaving like a mafia don party. However, it cannot stop us. How many will you detain. Now the whole of India will have to come out on the streets."

He said, "Police have reached the houses of CJP workers in many areas of the state and they have been forbidden from going to the protest."
The father of a CJP worker told the BBC on condition of anonymity, "The policemen have come to our house and told us not to let our son go to Delhi."
