**Eshwarappa Slams Minister’s Anti-RSS Stance, Warns Congress of Political Fallout**

*Shivamogga, October 13, 2025* – Former Deputy Chief Minister K.S. Eshwarappa has launched a scathing attack on RDPR Minister Priyank Kharge for his recent comments and actions against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), warning the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government of dire political consequences.

Speaking at a press conference in Shivamogga on Monday, Eshwarappa described Kharge’s criticism of the RSS as “attempting to spit on the sun,” emphasizing the organization’s long history of social service, promotion of nationalistic sentiment, and commitment to Hindutva.

Eshwarappa was responding to Kharge’s letter to the Chief Minister, urging a halt to RSS activities in government and aided institutions. Eshwarappa criticized the Chief Minister’s decision to forward the letter for action, stating that it should have been dismissed outright.

“The Congress has been losing ground across the country because of its stance against the RSS,” Eshwarappa declared, challenging the government to act against the organization. “I challenge the Congress government to take action against the RSS and stop its activities. If the government made any such attempts, the Congress party will lose power,” he stated.

Further, he stated that the RSS was ready to share details of its accounts. The headquarters of the organisation was built from the funds collected through various trusts. There was no truth in the allegations made by Priyank Kharge and Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad. “They make such statements only to please their leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi,” he added.

The remarks are likely to further escalate tensions between the ruling Congress party and the RSS, a Hindu nationalist organization with significant influence in Indian society. The confrontation sets the stage for a potentially volatile political environment in the state.
