Photos: Thousands join India’s opposition rally against election chief

Tens of thousands of people marched in New Delhi on Sunday at a rally organised by the INDIA opposition bloc and led by Rahul Gandhi. Demonstrators demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, whom opposition parties accuse of overseeing a biased voter-list revision that has removed more than 130 million names, including those of minorities. The Election Commission denies favouring any party and says voters wrongly removed can re-register; the BJP accuses the opposition of undermining democracy. India’s next general election is scheduled for 2029.
