Prashant Bhushan’s remarks spark an uproar; a political battle erupts between the ruling side and the opposition over ‘regime change’!

A statement by senior advocate Prashant Bhushan—that “bringing about a regime change is not a crime, but rather a right of the people”—has ignited a fresh debate in the nation’s political landscape. The BJP has accused the opposition of attempting to sow chaos in the country, while the Congress has hit back, asserting that changing a government through elections is precisely the role of the opposition. Congress MP Pawan Khera responded to the criticism leveled by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also questioned the government’s performance, suggesting that calling for a change in power is not inherently wrong. Amidst allegations of ‘vote theft’ and demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the issue of ‘regime change’ has now taken center stage in politics.
