India's Election Chief Faces Criticism Over Voter List Revisions Amid Protests
India's Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar faces criticism following a report that his deputies raised objections over voter list revisions, which removed over 130 million names since last year. The opposition alleges attempts to manipulate voter rolls, while the government and Election Commission deny these claims. Protests demanding Kumar's resignation have occurred amid concerns about electoral fairness, though experts suggest deeper systemic issues affect India's election integrity beyond individual leadership changes.
