- Parakala Prabhakar, the husband of India’s finance minister in Narendra Modi’s government, joined mass protests led by the cockroach movement against voter-list revision.
- Parakala Prabhakar said that removing millions of registered voters was threatening democracy, making the scale of the voter-list changes his central stated concern.
Why it matters: Parakala Prabhakar’s participation gives the voter-list protests a direct connection to Narendra Modi’s government through the finance minister’s household. His claim that millions of registered voters are being removed makes the scale of the alleged disenfranchisement—not merely the family connection—the substantive issue.
