Congress Leader Praises BJP-RSS, Sparks Internal Debate

A senior leader from the Congress party, Digvijaya Singh, shared an old black and white photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the 1990s.

In the photo, a young Modi is seen sitting on the floor near another BJP leader.

Singh praised the BJP and its parent organization, the RSS, for their ability to help grassroots workers rise to high positions, like becoming Chief Minister or Prime Minister.

He shared this photo online and tagged top Congress leaders, which caused some controversy.

Singh later clarified that he supports the organizational strength of the BJP-RSS but strongly opposes the RSS and PM Modi.

The BJP used Singh's remarks to criticize the Congress, accusing it of autocratic and undemocratic functioning.

Some Congress leaders supported Singh's call for organizational reforms, while others criticized his remarks.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge launched a sharp attack on the Modi government and the RSS, accusing them of disregarding national symbols and suppressing people’s rights.

The Congress is currently facing internal debates about its structure and leadership approach.
