Congress wants to change power like in Bangladesh: Rajnath Singh
Rajnath also alleged that while in power, Congress had tried to bring the Election Commission under its control. Referring to an incident in 1993 in this context, he said that changes were made in the Election Commission at that time. Although there was a recommendation to remove the then Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla, the Congress government later promoted him to the post of Chief Election Commissioner.
Rajnath Singh claimed that after the introduction of voter identity cards, Congress could no longer form a government alone. He also questioned the opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists and the protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
