Demonstrators waved Indian and party flags as opposition leaders travelled in an open-top jeep.Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda dismissed the demonstration as a “carefully orchestrated drama”.“What is unfolding today at Ramlila Maidan is not an act of respect for democracy,” he told the ANI news agency. “It is a calculated conspiracy to plunge the nation into anarchy, all in the name of democracy.”Opposition parties, student organisations and the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party have staged near-daily demonstrations since late September, calling for Kumar to step down.The protests began after Kumar’s two deputies raised concerns about revisions to voter lists, registration procedures and digital systems.Analysts described the demonstrations and growing support for the opposition as Modi’s most serious political crisis since he took office in 2014.
