Summary

Hundreds of opposition leaders and party workers marched through central New Delhi on Monday to India's Supreme Court, demanding the resignation of the election commission chief. They say revisions to voter rolls favor Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party; authorities have removed more than 130 million names from the rolls. The march follows a weekend in which thousands of protesters were detained in Delhi, where authorities shut metro stations and restricted traffic.
