The Demand
Gyanesh Kumar
Must Resign.
CJP's indefinite sit-in at Jantar Mantar has one non-negotiable demand: the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Why he must go:
Failed to ensure electoral transparency — voter manipulation complaints ignored
Compromised ECI independence — political alignment undermining institutional integrity
Suppressed whistleblower reports — EVM irregularity complaints buried
Failed democratic accountability — the Election Commission exists to serve citizens, not parties
CJP already forced one resignation — Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stepped down after the Sansad March. A CEC is next.
The Sit-in · धरना
Indefinite.
24/7.अनिश्चितकालीन
The Delhi Jantar Mantar sit-in is not a one-day protest. It's an indefinite, round-the-clock dharna that continues until the Chief Election Commissioner resigns.
How it operates:
Volunteer shifts — 8-hour rotations ensure continuous 24/7 presence
Supply chain — food, water, medical support organized by CJP volunteers
Legal team on-site — lawyers present to handle any police action
Media center — live updates, press conferences, social media broadcasting
Open to all — any citizen can visit, join, or show solidarity
Jantar Mantar holds special significance for CJP — it's where Sonam Wangchuk conducted his hunger strike, where 10+ politicians showed support, and where the Sansad March began.
Electoral Reform · चुनावी सुधार
Beyond The Resignation.
The Election Commission must be truly independent — free from political appointments, interference, and loyalty. CJP demands a transparent, merit-based selection process for Election Commissioners.
