HUNDREDS of supporters of India’s “Cockroach” youth movement held new protests in the country’s financial hub of Mumbai today to demand the resignation of the chief election commissioner over the revision of voter lists.

The movement, which began as an online campaign and now calls itself the Cockroach Janata Party, organised street protests that forced India’s education minister to resign in July.

The Mumbai rally is planned to be the start of a new period of nationwide demonstrations.
