Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has launched a sharp critique against the BJP and RSS, accusing them of lacking any real contribution to India's freedom struggle. During a rally in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, Kharge emphasized that the Congress party has the "real patriots" and highlighted the absence of BJP and RSS in the nation's fight for independence (aajtak.in).
Kharge's remarks come amid preparations for the 2027 state assembly elections, where the Congress is seeking to strengthen its position. In a fiery speech, he directly targeted the BJP and RSS, calling their claims of patriotism hollow. He argued that the Congress has a more authentic legacy of national service and resistance, contrasting it with the alleged opportunism of the BJP and RSS (thehindu.com).
The criticism reflects a growing ideological divide between the Congress and the BJP, with Kharge using historical narratives to bolster his party's image. His attack on the RSS, a key ally of the BJP, signals a broader strategy to undermine the influence of right-wing groups in Indian politics (ntnews.com).
