A youth organization in India has launched a campaign demanding the immediate resignation of Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The group, which has adopted the label 'cockroach movement,' alleges that Kumar has been involved in the improper meddling of electoral processes. The movement has issued an ultimatum to the official, warning that they will return to the streets for mass demonstrations if he does not step down by their specified deadline.

The movement claims that their actions are a response to concerns regarding the integrity of the election commission. While the group has been vocal about their grievances, they have not yet provided specific, verified evidence of the alleged interference. The situation remains tense as the deadline approaches, with the group signaling that they are prepared to escalate their tactics to gain public and political attention. As of now, there has been no formal response from the Election Commission of India regarding these specific allegations or the threat of renewed protests. The movement's choice of name—'cockroach'—is intended to symbolize their persistence and resilience in the face of institutional power, though critics of the group argue the rhetoric is inflammatory. The core of the dispute centers on the perceived lack of neutrality within the commission, a charge that the government and election officials have historically denied in similar contexts.
