Joshi Slams Congress for ‘Reckless’ Criticism of Modi, RSS in Karnataka

HUBBALLI, October 24, 2025 – Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Pralhad Joshi, today launched a scathing attack on Congress leaders in Karnataka, accusing them of neglecting their public duties while engaging in a power struggle.

Speaking to reporters in Dharwad, Joshi alleged that the internal competition within the Congress party to become Chief Minister has led to a surge in “reckless” and degrading statements against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

“Within the Congress, it appears as if whoever makes the highest criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP and RSS the most, stands a better chance of becoming Chief Minister,” Joshi said. He went on to say that this focus on internal politics is coming at the expense of serving the people of Karnataka and Telangana, who he believes are closely observing the situation and will ultimately hold the Congress accountable.

Joshi also specifically called out Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad for his remarks on Hindu festivals, daring him to make similar comments about festivals celebrated by other religious communities. His remarks come amid a broader political climate where the ruling BJP and opposition Congress are frequently at loggerheads.
