The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will hold a ‘Chappal protest’ at Bengaluru’s Freedom Park on Thursday, October 8, following a People’s Tribunal on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The protest is scheduled to begin after the tribunal, with the programme set to start at 10.30 am. CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka announced the protest on Wednesday, saying it would highlight people who, according to the organisers, were removed from the voters list during the SIR exercise.
