Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh sparked internal debate by praising the organizational strength of the RSS-BJP, contrasting it with the Congress's structure. While Singh clarified he opposes the RSS ideology, some party members like Shashi Tharoor supported the call for strengthening the Congress organization and discipline. However, others, such as Manickam Tagore, sharply criticized the RSS, equating it with Al-Qaeda and rejecting any notion of learning from it, highlighting a division within the party on how to address organizational weaknesses.
