Police in India’s New Delhi detained leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party after they climbed over gates to enter Jantar Mantar, a site that lost its status as an official protest venue a day earlier. The leaders raised the Indian flag and chanted slogans demanding the resignation of India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar. Delhi Police said that Jantar Mantar was no longer a designated protest site and that it had identified three new venues. Opposition parties and supporters of the ‘cockroach’ youth movement have rallied almost daily this month to demand Kumar's resignation over a revision of voter lists that critics say benefits Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party. #india #cockroach #newdelhi #election #asia
