Supporters of the CJP Protest movement held demonstrations in Mumbai and Delhi over reported changes to electoral rolls, putting renewed attention on India’s election process. Protesters raised concerns about the impact of voter-list revisions and called for greater clarity from the Election Commission. The demonstrations were linked to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Protesters have questioned the process and alleged that eligible voters could be affected by changes to voter lists. These claims remain contested, with election authorities defending the revision process.

Demands for Greater Transparency

The protests also focused on Gyanesh Kumar, with demonstrators demanding accountability from the Chief Election Commissioner over the voter-roll exercise. Reports said large gatherings took place in Mumbai, while protesters in Delhi faced police restrictions and detentions during attempts to demonstrate near Jantar Mantar.
