The youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), opposition groups, and student organisations have held almost daily protests this month demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over a revision of voter lists that critics say favours Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

NEW DELHI, October 16, 2026 (AP) — Indian authorities increased security in the capital and closed a central New Delhi park on Friday ahead of a flag-waving protest called by the youth “Cockroach” movement demanding the resignation of India’s election chief. Protests by the youth and opposition parties have intensified over an ongoing review of voter lists that has removed more than 130 million names since last year. Critics say the exercise is politically motivated, threatens to disenfranchise millions more, and has disproportionately affected minorities, particularly Muslims. They have demanded the resignation of election chief Gyanesh Kumar. The Election Commission
Mumbai, Oct 16 (PTI) The rupee stayed on upward momentum for the sixth straight session on Friday and settled 7 paise higher at 94.92 (provisional) against the US dollar, backed by the Reserve Bank’s measures to curb spot dollar demand. However, elevated crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows capped the rupee’s gains, according to forex traders. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 94.75 against the American currency. In intraday trade, it touched a high of 94.71 and a low of 95.06 before settling at 94.92 (provisional), up 7 paise from the previous close. On Thursday,
