India opposition protests voter roll changes at Supreme Court
India’s opposition parties have marched to the Supreme Court to challenge the Election Commission’s revisions to the voter roll, which they claim unfairly favor Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party. The Commission has denied favoring any party and stated that wrongly deleted voters can re-enroll, while opposition sources claim over 130 million names were removed.

Where They Diverge
Scale of voter removal and intent
Kathmandu Post Focuses on the legal challenge and the Commission’s assurance that deleted voters can re-enroll, without citing a specific number of deletions.
NPR Highlights that over 130 million names were removed and frames the revisions as an escalation of protests that favor Modi’s party.
Editorial Positioning
Kathmandu Post +0.0Balances the opposition’s legal action with the Election Commission’s denial and corrective measure (re-enrollment), offering both sides without loaded language.
NPR −0.8Foregrounds the opposition’s claim of bias and uses the large number of deletions (130 million) to imply systemic disadvantage to opposition voters, though it does not quote government rebuttals in the snippet.
