Citing former PM Manmohan Singh, BJP says Congress has habit of discrediting Election Commission

The BJP cited Manmohan Singh's remarks to accuse Congress of attacking institutions. Congress countered by referencing Quraishi's book to criticize Prime Minister Modi. The BJP alleged ministers targeted the poll body when the UPA was in power. Salman Khurshid was censured for promising an enhanced Muslim quota during a campaign. Singh viewed the EC as democracy's soul, while Modi sees it as a political tool.
