Kumaraswamy slams Priyank Kharge for raising issues concerning RSS

Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy criticized Janata Dal(S) leader Priyank Kharge for raising concerns about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Kumaraswamy argued that Congress leaders should focus on their own funding sources before criticizing others. He questioned Home Minister Kharge about the development in Kalyan Karnataka region, including the functioning of the Kalyan Karnataka Region Development Board and the migration of labor.

Kumaraswamy accused the state government of being unserious about drought mitigation and accused ministers of merely taking pictures at fields while neglecting the plight of farmers. He also questioned Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's AI-based learning initiative, urging the focus on fundamental issues within schools, such as the lack of teachers and basic facilities.

Kumaraswamy demanded accountability from the government on its promises of recruitment for public schools and 15,000 schoolteachers over the next three years.
