Can India’s ‘cockroach’ movement oust Modi’s election chief?

In New Delhi, hundreds of protesters were detained by Narendra Modi’s police during a demonstration demanding the resignation of election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The ‘cockroach’ movement, which previously ousted the education minister this summer, joined opposition parties in calling for Kumar’s resignation. Authorities shut down metro stations and blocked access to key protest sites, including Parliament Street and Jantar Mantar. A young musician, Saurav Yadav, was arrested while holding the national flag, criticizing the government’s election management.
