Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the ruling party of gross misuse of government machinery. Kharge expressed concern over the deployment of senior officers to all districts in India to showcase the achievements of the government. He argued that this violated the Central Civil Services Rules and turned government servants into political workers. Kharge also criticized the ministry of defence's directive for soldiers on leave to promote government schemes, stating that it politicized the armed forces.
