Lingasugur
Political tensions surfaced in Lingasugur as BJP legislator Manappa Vajjal openly voiced dissatisfaction with the state government, according to sources. The remarks follow warnings from authorities that individuals participating in RSS path rallies risk disqualification from official duties.
Speaking to reporters, Vajjal highlighted the involvement of government employees in such activities, urging caution and strategic awareness. If you check the lists, you will see how many government employees across the state and the country are participating, he said, emphasizing the need for discretion to avoid conflicts with official responsibilities. Vajjal also criticized attempts to politicize the RSS network, noting that if four votes shift, RSS members could be effectively absorbed into party mechanisms. Even the appointment of taluk presidents seems influenced by these dynamics, he added, underlining the blurred lines between party strategy and organizational influence.
Officials confirmed that warnings had been circulated against participation in rallies invoking slogans such as Pakistan Zindabad, stressing that disciplinary action could follow for government employees involved. Analysts suggest this episode reflects a growing friction between individual legislators’ public statements and party directives, amid concerns over maintaining administrative neutrality while managing grassroots support networks.
