“A Living Example Of A Nepo Kid In Politics, Has No Knowledge Of RSS Contributions”, BJP Leader Gourav Vallabh Slams Karnataka Congress Minister Priyank Kharge

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gourav Vallabh, who joined the party in 2024 after quitting the Congress, criticized Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge over his recent remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Vallabh described Kharge as a “living example of a ‘nepo kid’ in politics,” saying he owed his position entirely to family connections.

“Priyank Kharge is a living example of a ‘nepo kid’ in politics. He is in politics only because his father is the President of the Congress Party. Otherwise, what is his contribution to Karnataka? Has he made any contribution to Karnataka’s literature, culture, education, or development model? Nothing at all. His only ‘achievement’ is that he was born into the family of Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress President,” Vallabh said.

Continuing his attack, he added, “He has no knowledge of India’s history, no understanding of the RSS’s contributions, nor of the Congress Party’s own history. He is the type of kid who goes ‘papa papa’. When such kids get upset or angry, they should be given a chocolate. They don’t have the right to question because they do not know that the RSS has worked in every corner of India to spread patriotic thoughts. They are unaware of what kind of work the RSS did for unity, because these are the ‘papa papa’ kids.”

He said, “I was hurt by my party’s silence when some prominent leaders in the INDIA bloc made unsavoury remarks against Sanatan. I also publicly opposed our party’s stand on Ram Mandir (the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Lord Ram Lalla in Ayodhya). I am a Hindu by birth and a teacher by profession. This stance of the party has always irritated and troubled me. Many people associated with the party and (INDIA) alliance speak against Sanatan Dharma and the party’s silence on it is like giving it tacit approval.”

Vallabh, who contested the 2023 Rajasthan Assembly elections from Udaipur, had earlier made his electoral debut in 2019 from Jamshedpur East in Jharkhand. He said he could “neither raise anti-Sanatana slogans nor abuse the wealth creators of the country,” adding that he felt “suffocated” by the Congress’s economic positions.
