Will not let RSS spread its roots in Bihar: Tejashwi Yadav

Following the formation of the Dharmanirpeksha (Secular) Sevak Sangh (DSS), a youth organisation to counter the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Friday asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and RSS, who spread religious fanaticism, will be countered at every step.

'Today the RSS is spreading religious fanaticism and fanning out its divisive ideology in the country, but the DSS will counter them at all cost. This group is accustomed to using abusive language be it in meetings or outside, despite all this BJP still supports them. This is all that you can expect from the saffron party and their small minded leaders,' Yadav told ANI.

Yadav further stated that RSS only supports the Hindus; while other religion and topics are never discussed.

'When other religion topics are discussed, RSS, as well as BJP, don't comment on it, so it's clear that both support each other even if they are wrong. RSS tactics will not pay off in the city and I will see to it,' said Yadav.

Earlier this week, Tejashwi Yadav and Bihar health minister Tej Pratap Yadav had formed an organisation to counter the growth of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) first in Bihar and then across the country. The organisation formed has been titled as Dharmnirapeksh Sevak Sangh (DSS).

Tejashwi later stated that they will offer strong resistance to the RSS and its divisive ideology as DSS has members from all religions and communities.
