Criticising former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy for his comments on the RSS, Hassan MLA Preetham Gowda has said the BJP should maintain distance with the Janata Dal (Secular).
Speaking to presspersons in Hassan on Thursday, Mr. Preetham Gowda said the RSS was the origin of the BJP. “We are in politics for an ideology. We give importance to the ideology that our party stands for. Hence, we should keep distance with those speaking against our party and its ideology.”
The BJP MLA said the former Chief Minister had exhibited his real face by criticising the RSS. The BJP leaders should also stop having soft corner for the JD(S). “It may take five-ten years to assume power in corporations. Let us wait till then, instead of joining hands with them”, he said.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
