Jharkhand CM compares RSS to ‘rats,’ accuses BJP of communal hatred

Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren on Wednesday, September 26, sparked controversy after referring to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing outfit as “rats” while addressing a rally in the Bhognadih village.

In his speech, Soren accused both the BJP and the RSS of attempting to undermine communal harmony in Jharkhand for electoral



gains, particularly ahead of the upcoming elections.

The comments made by Soren were a continuation of his attack on the modus operandi of the BJP, which Soren has accused of deliberately seeking to drive a wedge between Hindus and the minority Muslims. He directly accused Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of worsening the situation in the state.
