India's 'Cockroach' Movement Threatens Protests Over Election Chief

India's satirical Cockroach Janta Party has given Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar until Saturday to resign, threatening nationwide protests from Mumbai on October 2. The demand follows an Indian Express report that two election commissioners raised concerns with Kumar at least 14 times in 10 months over voter-list updates. Opposition parties accuse the commission of manipulating lists to benefit the BJP, which denies the claims.
