KPCC Chief B.K. Hariprasad Identifies RSS as Greater Threat Than BJP
B.K. Hariprasad, KPCC president, stated that the RSS, described as the 'brain and soul' of the BJP, poses a greater threat to India's democracy and social fabric than the BJP itself. Speaking at a Dharwad rally, he urged Congress workers to unite across party lines against the RSS and its activities. Hariprasad criticized the RSS for not hoisting the national flag or respecting the anthem and accused it of promoting divisiveness under the guise of patriotism. He contrasted Congress's inclusive representation with the BJP's community-based leadership and supported protests against policies linked to the BJP and RSS.
