Opposition is to oppose, expose, depose: Congress Pranab reminder to Rajnath Singh
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed a press conference in Lucknow on October 16, 2026, accusing the Congress and its allies of seeking a regime change reminiscent of Bangladesh. In response, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh reminded Singh of former President Pranab Mukherjee's stance that the Opposition's role in a democracy is to oppose, expose, and depose.
Singh claimed that the youth were being exploited to fuel political confrontation and anarchy, while Congress and its allies aimed to change the government in India, akin to Bangladesh.
