Dhruv Rathee Joins CJP Stir Against CEC; ‘Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod’ Chants Heard at Bengaluru Protest

Dhruv Rathee joined a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Bengaluru’s Freedom Park on October 8, bringing another high-profile voice into the ongoing political debate surrounding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The demonstration brought together activists, supporters and public figures, including actor Prakash Raj and CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke. Protesters raised slogans demanding action against the Election Commission and calling for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. The Bengaluru demonstration was centred on concerns raised by protesters over the SIR process. Opposition leaders and civil society groups have questioned the manner in which electoral rolls are being revised and have demanded greater transparency regarding additions, deletions and verification of voter names. The Election Commission and supporters of the electoral-roll exercise have maintained that voter-list revision is part of the established electoral framework. Rathee addressed the gathering and said he had not come to the protest seeking “regime change”. His remarks focused on questions surrounding the electoral process and the need for transparency. He also referred to voter-list revisions in different states and questioned how large numbers of names could be deleted or subsequently restored. These were presented as political questions and allegations by the speaker, rather than established findings. The crowd at Freedom Park raised slogans including “Vote chor, gaddi chhod” and other slogans directed at the Election Commission. The slogans reflected the anger expressed by participants over what they described as concerns about voting rights and the electoral-roll revision process. Protesters called for the SIR exercise to be withdrawn and for the Chief Election Commissioner to resign. Prakash Raj also addressed the gathering and argued that the protest was not limited to seeking the resignation of an individual official. He said the larger objective was to oppose the SIR exercise itself. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke similarly said that the agitation would continue until the organisation's demands were addressed. The presence of Rathee attracted additional attention because of his large online audience and his previous public commentary on political and constitutional issues. His participation gave the Bengaluru protest wider visibility and brought additional focus to the questions being raised about electoral administration. Authorities had made security arrangements at Freedom Park to prevent any untoward incident. The Bengaluru protest took place against the backdrop of demonstrations in other parts of the country concerning the Election Commission and electoral rolls. The issue has become a major point of political disagreement between opposition groups and the authorities. The controversy surrounding SIR involves questions about the accuracy and completeness of electoral rolls. Electoral-roll revision is intended to ensure that eligible voters are included while ineligible or duplicate entries are removed. However, political parties and civil society organisations can raise concerns about how the process is implemented, particularly when large numbers of voters are affected. The debate has also moved into the courts and public demonstrations. Different political groups have demanded that electoral authorities provide explanations and supporting information concerning disputed voter-list changes. At the same time, former judges and other public figures have urged political parties to raise concerns through established constitutional and legal mechanisms. For Bengaluru, the Freedom Park gathering represented another major public demonstration over the Election Commission. The participation of well-known personalities increased the visibility of the event, while the slogans and speeches demonstrated the intensity of the political disagreement. The controversy is expected to continue as political parties, civil society groups and election authorities debate the SIR process. Any allegations concerning voter deletions or additions will ultimately require examination through official records, legal procedures and evidence. Rathee’s participation therefore adds another dimension to the ongoing debate. His remarks focused on transparency and accountability, while protesters used the gathering to demand changes to the electoral-roll process and the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. The developments in Bengaluru are part of a wider national discussion about electoral institutions, voter rights and public confidence in the democratic process.
