Siddaramaiah criticizes RSS, intensifying political conflict in Karnataka

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has intensified his criticism of the RSS and BJP, claiming they did not participate in India's independence struggle. His remarks during a recent Assembly session led to demands for an apology from the BJP and two adjournments. Siddaramaiah's comments come just before the RSS' Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha in Bengaluru. He has previously labeled the BJP and RSS as "anti-constitution" and accused them of glorifying Mahatma Gandhi's assassin. This ongoing conflict highlights Siddaramaiah's long-standing opposition to the RSS. He has consistently criticized their ideology and their influence on Indian society, asserting that they promote a divisive agenda contrary to constitutional values.
