Indian artist takes ‘deleted voter’ song to Cockroach protest

An Indian artist has spoken out, telling Al Jazeera that his voting status was changed by the government, effectively removing his right to vote. He believes these actions were taken by the Modi government, leading him to join the upcoming 'Cockroach' protests to raise awareness about the issue. His personal experience reflects broader allegations of voter list irregularities in India.

The artist, known for his political commentary through music, has a song specifically titled 'deleted voter.' This song highlights the issue of citizens being removed from electoral rolls, a form of voter disenfranchisement. He feels it's crucial to use his platform to speak for himself and others who may have faced similar challenges, ensuring their voices are heard in the public discourse.

By participating in the 'Cockroach' protests, the artist aims to show solidarity with other activists and citizens who are protesting against various perceived injustices and government actions. These protests are often symbolic of resistance against systemic issues. His involvement brings a cultural dimension to the movement, using art and personal testimony to draw attention to concerns about electoral integrity and democratic participation in India.
