Karnataka RSS controversy: With such poisonous ideology, Udit Raj jumped into Karnataka’s RSS controversy; What is the connection with Bihar elections?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Karnataka RSS controversy: In politics, sometimes the story is deeper than what is visible. Something similar is being seen these days in the politics of Karnataka and Bihar. While the Congress government in Karnataka is taking a tough stand on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a statement by Congress leader Udit Raj has linked this entire matter to the Bihar elections. What is happening in Karnataka? First of all, it is important to understand why there is controversy over RSS in Karnataka. Siddaramaiah government of Karnataka has decided that RSS branches or activities will not be allowed in government schools and colleges. The government says that no organization can use any government place for its propaganda. Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge has been quite vocal about this and has even demanded a ban on RSS. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has also called RSS anti-constitutional. What did Udit Raj say? Now vocal Congress leader Udit Raj has also jumped into this whole controversy. He has launched a scathing attack on the ideology of RSS, calling it “poisonous”. Udit Raj has earlier also called RSS a “terrorist organization” and alleged that it has worked to divide the country. He also supported the statement of Karnataka Government Minister Priyank Kharge in which the thinking of RSS was compared to Taliban. Udit Raj says that there is no difference between the two. Then what does this have to do with Bihar elections? Now the question arises that what does this fight in Karnataka have to do with the elections in Bihar? Is there any relation? In fact, political experts are considering this as part of a well-thought-out strategy of Congress. Even though Udit Raj has not directly taken the name of Bihar, the hint is clear. Polarization of votes: Through leaders like Udit Raj, Congress is trying to bring together the Dalit, backward and minority votes. When they raise the question of RSS being anti-Dalit and anti-women (like why no Dalit or woman becomes the head of RSS?), it has a direct impact on these communities. Linkage to caste census: This controversy also gives fuel to the issue of Congress caste census and abolishing the limit of 50% reservation. Caste is a big factor in the politics of Bihar. By attacking RSS, Congress is trying to make the elections a ‘forward versus backward’ and ‘battle for social justice’. It is clear that what is happening in Karnataka is not just a matter of one state. This is part of the larger strategy of Congress, whose real impact it wants to see in the elections of an important state like Bihar.
