Story summary

On November 1, 2026, thousands of protesters gathered in New Delhi to demand the resignation of India’s election chief over changes to voter lists that they claim unfairly benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party. Opposition parties, including the Congress Party and youth-led movements like the Cockroach Janta Party, allege that the controversial revision purged nearly 130 million people from the electoral rolls, disproportionately affecting minority voters. The protest saw participants marching with a one-kilometer banner listing names of deleted voters. Authorities responded by deploying security personnel armed with batons and riot control vehicles to maintain order at the rally site.
