Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) convenor Abhijeet Dipke on Monday accused the Narendra Modi government of waging a war against citizens to protect Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar amid growing demands for the poll body's chief to resign over alleged irregularities in electoral roll revision.

Dipke reached his native village, Santuk Pimpri, in Maharashtra's Hingoli district, late on Sunday night and visited the site where his grandmother's final rites were performed.
