  "summary": "Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president B.K. Hariprasad has called for the removal of individuals with backgrounds in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from State-run boards and corporations. Hariprasad acknowledged complaints about such appointments and stated that the government would either require these individuals to resign or withdraw their names. Additionally, Hariprasad revealed that the Congress is investigating those with an RSS background and has already taken steps to address the issue. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar echoed similar sentiments, confirming that a second list of appointments is being prepared and urging party workers to strengthen the organisation at the grassroots level.",
