Crasto claimed the BJP was aware people would bring about a change in government through elections and was therefore trying to mislead them by targeting the Opposition parties, which have been demanding Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the SIR of electoral rolls.
Incumbent government can only be changed through legitimate electoral process, he emphasised.
“The BJP is like the pot calling the kettle black,” Crasto added.
