Hariprasad Sparks Controversy Over Modi and Religious Politics

During a campaign event in Mysuru on Monday, Karnataka Congress President BK Hariprasad drew a sharp line between the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse, accusing the BJP and RSS of fostering a political climate that prioritizes religious polarization over the foundational principles of the Indian Constitution.

Hariprasad Sparks Controversy Over Modi and Religious Politics

Hariprasad’s remarks centered on a provocative comparison regarding legal accountability in India. He alleged that the current political landscape allows individuals to ascend to the offices of Prime Minister or Chief Minister despite involvement in violence, while citizens face imprisonment for offenses related to cattle slaughter. This rhetoric was delivered at the ‘Congress with You: Towards Protecting Your Vote’ gathering, where he urged voters to reject the BJP’s approach to governance.

Beyond ideological critiques, the state party chief shifted focus to electoral mechanics. He accused the ruling party and the RSS of manipulating the electoral roll revision process. Hariprasad directed Congress workers to conduct rigorous, independent verification of voter lists, specifically targeting potential exclusions linked to the Special Intensive Revision scheme. He characterized these efforts as essential for defending the democratic process against what he views as a broader disregard for secular governance.
