CJP announces October 11 march as police retain Delhi deployment

CJP announces a Sunday 10 am march towards Jantar Mantar and a daily campaign. Delhi Police say transport measures will depend on conditions.

Sunday march announced

The Cockroach Janta Party has announced another march towards Jantar Mantar in New Delhi at 10 am on Sunday, October 11. The Indian Express reports that Ajinkya Shinde, the party’s national organisation in-charge, set out the plan in a post on X on Saturday night.

Shinde said the campaign would continue until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resigns. He also appealed to supporters who are stopped by Delhi Police to hold their demonstration at that location. This is an announced plan for Sunday; the report does not establish that permission has been granted for the proposed march.

Daily campaign and student demonstrations

NDTV’s separately reported account of Saturday evening’s announcement says Shinde envisaged marches to Jantar Mantar every day until Kumar is removed. The renewed call follows the day’s detentions, which prevented the party’s leaders and supporters from assembling as planned.

NDTV also reports that Students’ Federation of India general secretary Srijan Bhattacharyya called for peaceful student demonstrations in different parts of the country from Sunday. His statement widened the proposed campaign beyond the Delhi gathering. These are organisers’ intentions, rather than a record of demonstrations that have already happened.

Police position on Sunday

Delhi Police told The Indian Express that deployment would remain at Saturday’s level. An officer said measures affecting Metro and train services would depend on conditions on Sunday. That response leaves specific transport arrangements unresolved; it is not confirmation of a new list of station closures or train cancellations.

Political positions remain divided

NDTV reports that BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad defended Kumar and the voter-roll revision exercise, arguing that Parliament governs the country. The party’s response contrasts with the organisers’ demand for the election chief’s departure. Allegations of electoral wrongdoing remain claims by the protesting groups; the protest announcement itself does not prove them.
