Rahul Gandhi condemns BJP‑RSS ‘shuddhikaran’ after Kharge rally

Rahul Gandhi voiced strong criticism of the ruling coalition after a public gathering organised by senior Congress figure Mallikarjun Kharge. He said the BJP‑RSS alliance operates on a ‘shuddhikaran’ mindset, implying an effort to cleanse politics according to their own ideological standards. Gandhi urged the opposition to reject such exclusionary narratives and to champion a more inclusive, secular political discourse. The remarks were made during a press interaction that followed the Kharge event, highlighting intra‑party tensions ahead of upcoming electoral battles.
