Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday hit out at RSS as he issued a strong statement saying nothing can ever force him to join the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, and that he prefers to be ‘beheaded’ than step into an RSS office. There are growing speculations about BJP leader and Rahul Gandhi’s cousin Varun Gandhi joining Congress, following which he made his clash with the Sangh ideology clear and said that their ideologies are unmatched.
Gandhi claimed that Varun had at some point embraced the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSSphilosophy )’s but noted that he could never do so.
“Varun eventually adopted that philosophy and made it his own, possibly even today. I cannot agree to it “the Wayanad MP stated at a press conference.
Gandhi said that he will have to be “beheaded” to make him enter the RSS office.
“Varun Gandhi is in BJP if he walks here then it might be a problem for him. My ideology doesn’t match his ideology. I cannot go to the RSS office, I’ll have to be beheaded before that. My family has an ideology. Varun adopted another & I can’t accept that ideology,” he said.
“I can surely meet him and hug him, but cannot accept that ideology,” Gandhi added at a press conference during the Punjab-leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra that aims to end the politics of hate and division and the over-centralization of our political system
The Congress leader claimed that the BJP will suffer a “massive blow” due to issues like unemployment, and price rise.
“It is abundantly clear that the BJP will suffer a massive hit by economic distress, unemployment, and price rise. There is massive anger against the BJP,” he said.
Lashing out at the “structure of media”, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that “hatred is being spread in the media”, while also alleging that it is playing the role of “distraction instead of a watchdog”.
