RSS is Indian edition of IS, says Kodiyeri

The RSS is the Indian edition of the Islamic State (IS), Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, State secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), has said.

Addressing an election campaign here on Friday, Mr. Balakrishnan said the BJP-led NDA government had made the country a hell during its 17 months reign. While the BJP was threatening that all the people who eat beef would be killed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was roaming around the world for promoting investment in the country. Who would invest their hard-earned money in a country like India where the people would not be allowed to eat their favourite foods, he asked.

The BJP was not representing the interest of the Hindu community as 70 per cent of Hindus in the country were consuming non-vegetarian foods such as meat, he said

People belonging to Scheduled Tribes and Communities were seemed to be a burden for the BJP which protect the vested interest of the upper class in the country, Mr. Balakrishnan said.
