Nagpur: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday, December 10, slammed Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), dismissing them as baseless and not worth responding to.
While speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis said he is not so idle that he would start speaking on Rahul Gandhi’s statements. “He says just anything. If someone thinks and speaks intellectually, I will respond. But why should I comment on such nonsense?” the Chief Minister remarked.
What Did Rahul Gandhi Say About RSS?
Earlier in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi had accused the RSS of attempting to “capture the institutional framework of the country.”
He said, "Vice-chancellor after vice-chancellor is placed not on merit, not on capability, not on scientific temper, but on the fact that he belongs to a particular organisation. Second capture. which helps in destroying democracy. The capture of the intelligence agencies. The capture of the CBI, of the ED, of the Income Tax Department. And the systematic placement of bureaucrats who favor their ideology and attack the opposition and anybody who chooses to oppose the RSS."
