Independence Day saw divisive speeches from our political leaders, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi praising the RSS and DK Shivakumar specifically calling it out in his response. Less than a week later, Congress leader DK Shivakumar recited the RSS anthem in the Karnataka assembly, sparking a reaction from the BJP.

The BJP has reacted to Congress leader DK Shivakumar reciting the RSS anthem in the Karnataka assembly by calling it a "desperate attempt to gain attention." BJP state chief, Nalin Kumar Kateel, stated that Shivakumar "has failed miserably in his own constituency and has now turned to singing the RSS anthem to grab the spotlight."

Shivakumar recited the anthem, "Namaste Sada Vatsale," in the assembly on Wednesday, just days after PM Modi praised the RSS during his Independence Day speech. PM Modi did not mention the RSS by name, but acknowledged "those who are serving our nation with utmost dedication."

This tense situation will be sure to affect the already dynamic political landscape of Karnataka, and India as a whole.

As politicians from opposing sides continue to clash, the people of Karnataka remain poised to be the beneficiaries - or the casualties - of these political games.
