Abhijeet Dipke is an Indian political activist and organiser associated with the Cockroach Janta Party, which called the October 16, 2026 "Lehra Do Tiranga" protest at Connaught Place in New Delhi. Reporting around the event described Dipke as a founder or leading organiser of the group. The rally was tied to opposition to the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and to anger over earlier restrictions and detentions around protest activity at Jantar Mantar.
The immediate dispute was not only about voter-list revision. It also became a test of civic space in central Delhi. Authorities closed Central Park for October 16–17 and imposed Section 163 restrictions in the Connaught Place area, citing administrative, safety, and public-order concerns. Organisers argued that those controls were being used to suppress a peaceful flag-bearing political demonstration.
Dipke has alleged that about 13 crore — roughly 130 million — voter names were affected by the revision process. That figure is an organiser's claim, not an independently verified count. The Election Commission has disputed allegations of improper mass deletion. Gyanesh Kumar (opens in a new tab), as chief election commissioner, is the main institutional target of the protest. Narendra Modi (opens in a new tab) and Amit Shah (opens in a new tab) are politically connected to the broader national dispute, but no cited evidence shows that either personally ordered the Connaught Place restrictions.
