Vijayapura, Nov 11: In a major embarrassment for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, one of its veteran activists has said that the hardline Hindutva outfit has lost its credibility by involving in all sorts of financial and moral corruption.
Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, N. Hanume Gowda, who has been with the RSS for the last three decades, said that several leaders of the sangh have gone astray of the fundamental values of the RSS.
“Today, not only the RSS leaders but also the BJP men who have come from the RSS are involved in corruption, nepotism and dynastic politics. The BJP’s allegations against the Congress now apply to the RSS and BJP leaders themselves,” he said.
He said that the BJP accuses the Congress of practising dynastic politics. But the BJP is doing same as in the case of B.S. Yeddyurappa’s son, Murgesh Nirani’s brother, Jagdish Shettar’s brother and also the sons of several BJP leaders who are in politics.
Stating that BJP leaders such as Mr. Yeddyurappa, Mr. Shettar, Shobha Karandlaje, Anant Kumar have embezzled money, Mr. Hanume Gowda asked where such huge amount of money has come from as these people were not this rich a few decades ago.
Accusing the RSS and BJP leaders of being involved in land grabbing, he said that he faced a threat to his life when he complained about it to the government.
To a question, he said that there were countless people in the RSS who are unhappy with the functioning of the sangh and they would soon be quitting it.
He said that instead of supporting the fake Hindutva organisation such as the RSS he has now decided to extend his support to the Shiv Sena.
“I am campaigning against the BJP and supporting the Shiv Sena in the elections,” he said.
Sangayya Hiremath, party candidate in Babaleshwar constituency, was present.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

Corruption and eruption are the two main elements of RSS
Is it.. RSS had credibility...? hearing this for the first time. History shows that RSS neither had crediblity nor culture.
Sangh (group) has become Balal Sangha
No difference if you are either in RSS or in Shiv sene. Ultimately you are in Hindu extreme group which supports and suggest Hindu Rashtra with hatred towards other religions
He said the truth but he said because he wanted good position in Shiv sena
He may get killed soon
