Former CM says RSS has trained over 4,000 bureaucrats in India who conform to its ideology
Former Chief Minister and Janata Dal (S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a “puppet” in the hands of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) while Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai was functioning under the directions of the RSS office here.
This drew a sharp reaction from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which said the comments were politically motivated and made with an eye on elections.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
