Thousands of supporters of India’s youth “Cockroach” movement and student groups are protesting in southern Bengaluru city. They demand the election chief’s resignation over a voter list revision that has removed over 130 names from the rolls, sparking concerns of voter disenfranchisement. The protest follows opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s brief detention by police in New Delhi on Wednesday. His Congress party plans more protests. The government and the poll body denies this, stating the revision targets duplicate and ineligible entries. The “Cockroach” movement, which began online in May, has organized protests nationwide, posing a political challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
