India’s “cockroach” movement demands election chief Gyanesh Kumar resign

India’s “cockroach” movement has called for the resignation of election chief Gyanesh Kumar, citing allegations of meddling. The group’s demands have intensified in recent weeks as it threatens to resume mass protests if its demands are not met.

The youth organization has set a deadline for Gyanesh Kumar to step down, warning that it will return to large‑scale demonstrations should the election chief remain in office amid the reports of interference. The movement’s stance remains focused solely on the resignation request and the potential for renewed public protest.
