New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) Reacting to Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge’s demand to ban Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activities on government premises, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal on Monday said whoever tried to ban the RSS faced complete destruction.
The reaction comes after Kharge wrote a letter to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on October 4, urging him to ban RSS shakhas held in government and government-aided schools and public grounds. In his letter, Kharge alleged that these shakhas promote slogans and ideologies that create negative thoughts in the minds of children and youth and such activities are against the unity of India and the spirit of the Constitution.
Speaking to IANS, Praveen Khandelwal said, “Whoever tried to ban the RSS has been completely destroyed. This shows how low the Congress has fallen. The destruction of the Congress is now certain. The RSS is the largest social service organization in the world. No one can stop its growth.”
Separately reacting to the social media comments of former Bihar Chief Minister and HAM president, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) national president Upendra Kushwaha regarding the NDA’s seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, Khandelwal dismissed any controversy.
He said, “There is nothing in it. These are just media speculations. The NDA is united under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will contest Bihar elections with full strength. We will form the government with a decisive majority.”
Jitan Ram Manjhi also expressed satisfaction over seat distribution.
“We were given one seat in the 2024 parliamentary elections and we were happy. Now, we have been given six seats. We fully respect the decision of the leadership,” Manjhi said.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) recently announced its seat-sharing formula for the Bihar Assembly elections to be held in November 2025. Both BJP and JDU will contest elections on 101-101 seats. Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) has been allotted 29 seats, while HAM and RLM will contest six seats each.
