Chennai, Feb 27: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has destroyed the institutional balance in the country by 'systematically attacking elected institutions and free press' for the last six years. Rahul Gandhi has also attempteed to target PM Modi in his speech and said, "Question isn't whether Prime Minister is useful or useless. Question is who is he useful to?"
The statement that the Wayanad MP has made is ironic in the real sense since he hails from a political party that has been in power for huge chunk of time in Indian politics and thus, can be legitimately held responsible for the changes that have taken place over the years, not only the ones that the party voluntarily takes credit for but also for the ones that the party absolutely abandons the responsibility for.
Rahul Gandhi has tried to explain his ironic statement and said, "A nation is a balance between its institutions, if that balance is disturbed then the nation is disturbed. That is the central idea. What are the institutions that make up the Indian nation? There are elected institutions Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabhas, Panchayats. There is the judiciary, there is a supporting free press. These institutions together, they hold the nation together in place."
He further said, "What we have seen over the last six years, is a systematic attack on all these institutions. Democracy does not die with a bang, it dies slowly and I am sad to tell you that democracy in India is dead. It doesn't exist anymore. It is dead because one organization, the RSS has combined with huge finances to penetrate and disturb and destroy our institutional balance. That is what is happened." Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's baseless and illogical statements are evident of his obsession to blame RSS, for absolutely anything wrong that according to him has happened in the country.
According to Rahul Gandhi's unfounded insights, there are multiple other balances that are also being distorted. He said, "Remember India is a union of states, so all states come together to form the nation. When you destroy the institutional balance of the country, you also destroy the negotiation between the states. Because if all states do not have equal say then the power balance between those states is disturbed. And that is a serious problem for any country and that is what we are facing." For all such kinds of political happenings that he thinks are happening in the country, Rahul Gandhi blames a soci-cultural organization like RSS to be responsible.
According to the Election Commission of India's (ECI) recent announcement, the Tamil Nadu assembly elections will be held in a single phase on Apr 6 and the counting of votes will be done on May 2. The assembly elections in the southern state are important for the national as well as the regional political parties. Rahul Gandhi's recent statements and speeches targeting RSS are evident of the insecurities that the party has against the organization in the southern state.
