  "summary": "India's opposition parties are planning to rally against the country’s election chief, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, over a contentious revision of voter lists. Hundreds of police personnel were deployed in New Delhi on Tuesday as protests, which began last week, continue with student groups, opposition parties, and India’s “Cockroach” youth movement demanding his resignation. The protesters accuse the polling body of manipulating voter registrations to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.",
