India’s Cockroach Janta Party is calling for another senior official to resign. In July, protests by the youth-led movement saw the education minister quit. Now, it wants the chief of the election commission to step aside. Critics say he's overseeing an unfair review of the electoral roll. The revisions have led to the removal of tens of millions of eligible voters. The commission says reform is long overdue — and necessary to weed out duplicate entries. Protesters say it’s an assault on democracy and designed to benefit the governing BJP. So, will the Cockroach movement be successful again?
