In Indian politics today, one name often comes up again and again—RSS, or Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. No matter the place or event, Congress leaders, especially Rahul Gandhi, regularly talk about the RSS. Whether it’s an election rally, a speech in Parliament, or a press event abroad, the RSS is often mentioned.
Congress vs RSS: A Long Battle
As elections approach in different states, the Congress party is once again attacking the RSS. In Karnataka, senior Congress leaders accused the RSS of:
- Controlling the Modi government
- Changing the Constitution
- Taking over important institutions
These are not just normal political comments. They are part of a bigger strategy. Congress wants to win back support from groups like Muslims, OBCs, and Dalits, whose votes are very important in many states. By talking about the RSS, Congress hopes to unite these groups.
What the RSS Thinks
Interestingly, some people in the RSS say Rahul Gandhi is the reason many people now know about them. They even joke that he has made them “famous.” They believe his constant criticism has actually helped more people around the world get curious about what the RSS stands for.
RSS members feel that Rahul Gandhi’s speeches and comments have done more to promote their name than the RSS ever did on its own. They say people now want to know what RSS is, what it believes in, and what its role is in Indian politics.
Political Impact
The fight between Congress and RSS is not new, but it has become stronger in recent years. Congress sees RSS as the ideological backbone of the BJP, and by attacking RSS, they are also attacking the ruling party.
As elections near, this RSS vs Congress debate is likely to become louder. For voters, it is important to understand both sides and make informed choices. The war of words may help some parties win votes, but it also reflects deeper ideological differences in Indian politics.
