India, Sept. 24 -- The Cockroach Janta Party on Thursday demanded chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, threatening a nationwide agitation similar to the Jantar Mantar protests between June and July if he does not step down within 48 hours.

The organisation accused the CEC of "undermining" voter rights and launched the "Election Commission Thik Karo" campaign.

"If Gyanesh Kumar does not resign within 48 hours, we will start a nationwide protest, before coming for a protest in Delhi," CJP convenor Abhijeet Dipke said, while addressing a press conference in the Capital.
