Indian opposition leaders march to top court to demand election chief resign | BBC News
Thousands of opposition supporters marched through Delhi to India’s Supreme Court to demand the election chief resign over alleged electoral roll fraud.
Monday’s “March for Democracy” was the latest in a series of demonstrations, with thousands of security forces deployed and roads barricaded in the capital. Thousands of protesters were detained over the weekend.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi submitted a petition to the court challenging the process, in which tens of millions of names have been struck off the voter rolls.
Opposition parties allege the revision benefits Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Election Commission and the BJP reject the charge.

A £3.6bn proposal to stop sewage being discharged into Windermere, England’s largest lake, has been unveiled.
The plans, which are backed by the local water company United Utilities and clean water campaigners, would see a tunnel up to 12 miles (19km) long built to transport sewage away from the lake.
At the moment both raw sewage and treated effluent are discharged into Windermere and campaigners say that is why parts of the lake have been turning green each summer, so-called algal blooming.
It is now up to the government to decide if the plan can be further developed, and if the £3.6bn price-tag is acceptable.

Israel’s election is taking place next Tuesday, to elect a new government, in the first election since the 7 October Hamas attacks three years ago.
More than half a million first-time voters are among those due to cast their ballots.
The vote is seen by many voters as an existential decision on the country’s future identity and security.
Surveys suggest that around three quarters of new voters see themselves as “right or centre right” – and that Israel’s far-right parties are among those benefitting.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson has been speaking with Gen Z voters in Israel.
