   Most outlets led with the protest actions by India's Gen Z-led Cockroach Janata Party and student groups, framing the demonstrations as a demand for the resignation of Election Chief Gyanesh Kumar. A few also noted the context of voter roll controversies and internal concerns raised by the election chief’s deputies over a 10-month period.
