Protests Against India’s New Citizenship Emerge at Heart of Campaign for Delhi’s Local Government

Two months after a controversial citizenship law passed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party government sparked a wave of protests by students and women, the Indian capital city will hold polls to elect a new local government on Saturday. As the BJP tries to wrest the prestigious city government from a city-based party that rules Delhi, the election will indicate whether the party retains its popularity among young voters.
