RSS Row In Karnataka: Congress Demands Ban On Shakhas In Govt Spaces | Karnataka Politics Heat Up

A massive political showdown is brewing in Karnataka!  Hours after IT Minister Priyank Kharge (son of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge) penned a fiery letter to CM Siddaramaiah demanding a ban on RSS events in government spaces—citing Tamil Nadu's strict policy—the BJP has hit back hard. Kharge slammed RSS Shakhas as "brainwashing sessions" spreading communal hatred, violating constitutional values, and operating without police nods. He branded the RSS a "divisive force" eroding India's secular unity. CM Siddaramaiah has tasked the Chief Secretary to review TN's model, but BJP isn't backing down! Karnataka BJP firebrand CT Ravi hailed RSS as a "symbol of nationalism" and accused Congress of "backing terrorists." Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis called Kharge's letter a "foolish publicity stunt," drawing parallels to Indira Gandhi's failed Emergency crackdown on RSS. BJP workers are countering with posters screaming: "Those who love India, love the RSS!"Is this the start of a nationwide row over politicizing public spaces? Will Karnataka follow Tamil Nadu's footsteps? Dive into the full drama, reactions, and what it means for India's political fault lines.
