CJP Holds Hyderabad Volunteer Meet Ahead of Nationwide Poll Panel Protest

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) held a volunteer meeting in Hyderabad on Sunday as part of its efforts to expand its organisational presence in South India, with Telangana emerging as a key centre of its grassroots outreach.

The gathering took place at Lamakaan and brought together members from various parts of the state, including a team from Warangal. It was led by South Zone In-Charge and National Media Lead Vijay Reddy Mallangi, along with South Zone Coordinators Stanley Korani, Ashok Uppu and Sreeja Reddy.

Mallangi has been tasked with expanding the party's organisation across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. The expansion plan includes setting up state and district-level committees, mobilising members and rolling out the party's nationwide programmes.

The Hyderabad meeting focused on volunteer mobilisation, constitutional values and voter-rights awareness, signalling the party's attempt to build a structured grassroots network in the southern states.

The gathering comes days before the CJP is set to launch a nationwide protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The party has announced an "Election Commission Thik Karo" campaign and is demanding Kumar's resignation, an independent inquiry into the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and changes to the law governing appointments to the Election Commission. These are the party's stated demands.

A series of protests has been announced, beginning in Mumbai on October 2, followed by programmes in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Prayagraj and Delhi.
