Priyank Kharge dares RSS to file complaint on its letterhead, hits out at BJP leaders

Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister and Kalaburagi district in-charge Priyank Kharge on Thursday (April 9, 2026) challenged the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to file a complaint in its own name over the controversy surrounding AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge’s “vishasarp” (venomous snake) remark, even as he launched a sharp attack on BJP leaders.

Interacting with media persons in Kalaburagi, Mr. Priyank said, “If the RSS is a registered organisation, let it file a complaint on its own letterhead. Why does it seek others’ help? I too am facing cases and we are not deterred by such actions.”
