After the 'cockroaches', the opposition in India is also taking to the streets, as 130 million people are at risk of disappearing from the electoral roll.

Protests in India against the electoral roll cleanup continue, with opposition parties claiming it benefits Prime Minister Modi. Over 130 million names have been removed since June 2025, leading to accusations of voter disenfranchisement. Demonstrators demand the resignation of the election commission head and an end to the cleanup. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi argues that the elections could be deemed illegal due to the removals. The protests have united various groups, including students and farmers, highlighting concerns over rights and representation. Critics assert that marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by the cleanup process.
