RSS running everything, present in every institution: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on his first visit to Ladakh since Jammu and Kashmir was divided into two Union Territories, on Friday said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was placing its own people in every institution of the country. The RSS — which is the ruling BJP’s ideological parent, is running everything, the Gandhi scion charged. “The RSS is placing its own people in every institution and is running everything,” Rahul Gandhi said in Ladakh. Speaking further, Rahul Gandhi said, “Even if you ask any of the ministers in the Union government, they will tell you they are actually not running their ministries. Those deputed by the RSS are actually running these ministries and are suggesting everything.” The same day, Rahul Gandhi also engaged with youth during an event in Leh, news agency ANI reported. During the event, the Congress MP said, “India got freedom in 1947 and consolidation of freedom in India is the constitution. The Constitution is a set of rules.”
