Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on October 17 accused the Narendra Modi government of trying to use Indian Army’s popularity for “elections” and alleged that it is something that “no government has done in the past 75 years”.
Mr. Kharge said the Modi government has asked the Army to set up 822 selfie points across the country where its schemes will be promoted.
“By capitalising on the popularity of the brave soldiers of our Indian Army who protect the nation, Modi ji is promoting himself. By politically using the army for elections, the Modi government has done something which has never happened in the last 75 years,” Mr. Kharge said in a post on X.
