NEW DELHI: Hundreds of security personnel fanned out on Tuesday in the heart of the Indian capital, with barricades thrown up ahead of an opposition march to demand the resignation of the election chief over a controversial revision of voter lists.
Parties opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and members of the popular 'cockroach' youth movement protested against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after the Indian Express newspaper reported divisions in the poll body last month.
The reported differences over the lists and registration procedures stoked concern about the commission's neutrality.
