MANGALURU: Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy was indulging in appeasement and vote bank politics, said Karnataka BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel.
Talking to reporters on Thursday, Kateel said that Kumaraswamy has given a statement against the RSS keeping the elections in mind.
“Those leaders are desperate after losing power and have lost their mind. I think it is common for leaders to show such tendencies when they lose power after being in power for many years. The RSS has shaped personalities and thus built the nation. Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar have praised the RSS and even Lal Bahadur Shastri has allowed the Sangh to participate in the Republic Day parade. Sangh is one such organization which is involved in various national activities,” said Kateel.
There are many in the Congress who inculcate the values of the ideologies of the Sangh. For example Congress leader VS Ugrappa has received Sangh training. Even PGR Scindia, who is currently in JD(S), received RSS training.
Former President Pranab Mukherjee has attended an RSS program. There are many Muslims and Christians in the Sangh. There is no rule that only people trained in RSS should be part of BJP. So Kumaraswamy, DK Shivakumar or any other leader should speak sensibly. Let them know about RSS. Kateel said that it is not possible to learn RSS from outside and whoever does so will be a fool.
Keeping an eye on the minority vote, Kumaraswamy has talked about the RSS. Don’t spoil your reputation by making such remarks,” he told Kumaraswamy.
