Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday questioned what he described as the disappearance of anti-incumbency against the BJP, invoking Saddam Hussein's Iraq and North Korea as he argued that democracies ordinarily see voters turn against governments and political leaders over time.
Addressing a press conference amid the escalating row over the Election Commission, Gandhi said anti-incumbency had historically affected Congress governments and regional parties but alleged that the phenomenon appeared to have stopped affecting the BJP.
