Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched an attack at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) alleging the right-wing organisation of placing its own people in every institution of the country. In a video clip, reportedly from a public interaction in Ladakh, Gandhi claimed ministers in the Union Cabinet are not the ones taking decisions but a certain ‘gentleman from the RSS’ who they have to work with to decide what should happen in the ministry.
The RSS is widely considered as the ideological wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Opposition has often drawn parallels between them. The Congress leader alleged that the RSS is running everything in the country.
“Even if you ask any of the ministers in the Union government, they will tell you they are actually not running their ministries. Those deputed by the RSS are actually running these ministries and are suggesting everything,” the former Congress president heard as saying in a video clip that is now being widely shared on social media.
