Tens of thousands gather in Delhi over voters removed from electoral roll

Newshour

Available for 29 days

Protesters in Delhi waved flags and chanted "Save the vote, save the country" and "Vote thief, give up power". It was the latest in a series of protests over electoral roll revision that the opposition says has removed eligible voters to benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP and the Election Commission deny the allegations. Also on the programme: as protests sweep across Europe, we hear about the German streets rocked by rioters; and the chance for a protest vote in the US, just two days before the mid-term elections.
