Maha: BJP slams CJP protest at Shivaji Park, calls it political drama
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Pravin Darekar on Friday launched a scathing attack on the protest organised by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) at Shivaji Park, declaring it a complete failure driven purely by political motives. Darekar alleged that while the protest was originally billed as an agitation over student issues, it quickly morphed into a staged political drama targeted at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Highlighting the dismal turnout at the venue, Darekar, at a press conference, claimed the event lacked genuine public backing and was hijacked by opposition political figures. He noted the presence of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Mahesh Sawant, Sainath Durge, and several Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers, asserting that the protest had lost its original focus. Pointing to activist Abhijit Dipke, Darekar remarked that organisers had to repeatedly tell Dipke to stay calm, which, according to him, exposed the lack of coordination and substance behind the agitation. Darekar strongly condemned controversial statements allegedly made by Abhijit Dipke regarding B.R. Ambedkar and demanded an immediate public apology. Dipke allegedly claimed that B.R. Ambedkar's stature and intellect grew primarily because of Jawaharlal Nehru. Rejecting the assertion, Darekar termed the remarks deeply offensive and an insult to the legacy of the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. He accused the organisers of straying entirely from the core issue to engage in divisive rhetoric. Addressing concerns surrounding the Special Summary Revision (SIR) process of the electoral roll, Darekar clarified that the exercise aims to purify the voters' list rather than arbitrarily delete names. He emphasised that, under standard regulatory protocols, only ineligible entries or duplicate registrations are removed, and a clear procedure for claims and objections remains available to every citizen. Darekar accused the CJP of attempting to further its own political agenda by maligning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and defaming the Election Commission as an institution. Firmly responding to Dipkes criticism of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Darekar advised critics to study Fadnaviss extensive political journey before casting aspersions. He stated that Fadnavis is a leader nurtured in the values of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) who has never indulged in power-hungry politics for a ministerial position. Darekar similarly dismissed criticisms directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pointing to the Prime Ministers global standing and international impact. He concluded that the oppositions rhetoric against the RSS and central leadership exposed the protest as nothing more than an orchestrated political farce designed to gain media attention.

CJP launches Jail Bharo agitation at Mumbai's Shivaji Park to demand CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Friday launched its Jail Bharo protest demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, against the backdrop of reports indicating purported internal rifts within the poll panel. Despite heavy police deployment and denial of formal permission to hold the protest at Shivaji Park, thousands of citizens and supporters gathered at the spot, as slogans against the Central government and the ECI rang out. The demonstration, dubbed by organisers as Season 2 of their movement, comes in defiance of a permit denial by Mumbai Police, who deployed heavy security contingents and barricades around the Dadar precinct. The protest witnessed backing from public figures, intellectuals, and prominent Bollywood personalities who gathered to support the cause, emphasising that the right to vote remains fundamental to Indian democracy. Notable attendees included Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vishal Dadlani. In their remarks on the occasion, the Bollywood personalities reiterated that voting rights are under threat and highlighted the imperative to safeguard democratic institutions. Actor Prakash Raj also extended support through a broadcast visual message urging citizens to protect democratic integrity. Addressing the crowds, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, CEC Gyanesh Kumar, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, challenging the authorities while formally launching a Jail Bharo call, insisting that peaceful assembly to defend voting rights remains a fundamental constitutional entitlement. He directly challenged the Maharashtra Chief Minister regarding police warnings against unlawful assembly, saying CM Devendra Fadnavis, you spoke about putting us in jail for just 3 days. Had you said 3 months, the whole of Mumbai would have been brought to a complete standstill. Dipke also invoked the legacy of Maharashtras social reformers while rejecting state threats of arrest. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, we have one request for you. You are the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a state built on a rich heritage. This is the land of Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, and Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj. You might have forgotten this legacy, but we have not. Such threats are not how Maharashtra operates. You claimed that protesting would mean going to jail. Does that mean you intend to lock us up? Then lock us all up! Don't just jail us for 3 days; put us away for 3 months. But know this -- the moment I walk out of jail, I will repeat the phrase you once used 'I will return, I will return, I will return', he said. Despite the police presence around Dadar Railway Station and key access points, protesters flooded Gate No. 6 of Shivaji Park carrying national flags and placards featuring satirical memes, popular film dialogues, and sharp slogans aimed at the poll chief. Slogans such as Gyanesh BRO, JUST RESIGN and Gaddaar Gyaanu Must Go resonated across the grounds alongside chants of Chale Jao and Vapas Do. The CJPs central charter submitted during the rally outlines three immediate demands directed at the Union Government and the Election Commission. They include the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accompanied by a formal independent investigation into electoral roll management, an immediate halt to ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) operations, restoration of the January 2025 electoral lists, and a comprehensive audit of recent voter deletions and the repeal of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023, to be replaced by a transparent selection process incorporating multi-partisan and civil society oversight. A parallel counter-demonstration emerged nearby, organised by a group styling itself as Gen Next Mumbai. Holding posters beneath the local statue of Dr Ambedkar, counter-protesters accused the CJP of creating unnecessary public disruption and misrepresenting constitutional processes. Several Shivaji Park residential associations also voiced concerns regarding traffic blockades, noise levels, and security risks in a densely populated residential zone. CJP leadership countered these complaints by claiming political interference aimed at creating artificial local friction against the movement. Mumbai Police personnel, including quick-response units and female police contingents, remain stationed along Cadell Road and Shivaji Park perimeters to prevent violence or movement toward state government offices. While minor scuffles over access barricades were reported, the gathering remained largely peaceful through late afternoon. CJP leaders said that Friday's Mumbai gathering marks the opening leg of a broader national campaign. Parallel drives and state-level rallies are scheduled across West Bengal, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar over the coming weeks, culminating in a planned mass demonstration at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.

Azmi said voting was a constitutional right and welcomed the turnout. The gathering was held amid heavy police deployment, while some residents raised concerns over noise pollution.

The investment blueprint spans sectors including energy, aviation and aero-districts, urban regeneration, data centres and coal gasification, Adani said at the launch of Invest Maharashtra in Mumbai on Friday.
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), has said that with the launch of 'Invest Maharashtra', the state is establishing a robust mechanism to convert investor intent into relentless on-ground execution. The Adani Group, he said, reaffirms its unwavering commitment to stand shoulder to shoulder with the state and its hard-working people. Addressing the gathering at the 'Invest Maharashtra' event here in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar, Pranav Adani said the Adani Group is proud to help build the twin engines of Maharashtra's future: industrial supremacy on one hand and dignity for every citizen on the other. At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and through state partnerships, the Adani Group has committed to an investment blueprint exceeding Rs 6 lakh crore across critical and upcoming sectors like energy, aviation and aero-districts, urban regeneration, data centres and coal gasification. Projects worth Rs 2.6 lakh crore are already completed or under execution, he said. This is our contribution towards Mumbai 3.0 -- not just a larger Mumbai, but a better-connected, more balanced and more inclusive metropolitan region, Pranav Adani stressed. The Adani Groups partnership with Maharashtra state spans decades, but its recent commitments reflect a quantum leap in nature, scale and conviction -- at a time when the state aims to be a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2030, with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region playing a central role. We have had the privilege of managing and transforming the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), continuously enhancing passenger experience and operational excellence. Alongside it, we are delivering the greenfield Navi Mumbai International Airport -- a transformative infrastructure asset designed to anchor the Mumbai Metropolitan Regions growth -- and eventually handle over 90 million passengers annually, Pranav Adani highlighted. Surrounding these twin aviation gateways, the Adani Group is developing integrated airport business and hospitality districts that will redefine urban mobility and commerce. Through Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited (AEML), we power more than 3 million homes and establishments across Mumbai. The metropolis today leads major global financial capitals in clean energy adoption, with over 60 per cent of our power supply sourced from renewables. And to insulate Mumbais financial core from outages, our 1,000 MW High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission link brings resilient, clean green power directly into the city, said the Adani Enterprises Director. Complementing this are the pumped storage hydro initiatives across the state to guarantee 24x7 green baseload power. Infrastructure must always have a human heart. Through the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, we have undertaken one of the most ambitious and compassionate urban transformation initiatives in modern history. Our approach is people-first: ensuring dignity, creating modern housing before relocation, formalising and safeguarding thousands of micro-enterprises and transforming Asia's largest informal settlement into a vibrant, integrated economic hub without displacing the community's soul, said Pranav Adani.
