India opposition parties demand election chief's resignation over voter list changes
The protesting lawmakers have accused the election commission of manipulating voter registrations to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The polling body says the revision is aimed to remove duplicate and ineligible entries.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around the Cockroach movement’s new nationwide protests over voter roll changes, with The Guardian US emphasizing the size of the Mumbai turnout and heavy police presence. NPR takes a more explanatory angle, presenting the protests as something readers should know about and noting that the campaign is led in part by the youth movement. Only NPR’s extract mentions the movement’s earlier role in forcing the education minister to resign.
