"All the state has its history, tradition...RSS ideology is Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, and Manipuri, these are inferior languages...that's what the fight is about...These people (RSS) don't understand India," he added.

"India is a union. In the Constitution, it is written clearly... India that is Bharat is a union state, histories, tradition music and dance...they (BJP) say it is not a union, it is different...," he said.
The LoP sparked a row on Monday after he said during his speech in Texas that the "fear" of BJP and RSS "vanished" mintues within Lok Sabha election results. Keeping on with the attack, he said on Tuesday that it took years for them to spread this fear but it vanished within seconds.
"Something has changed after the elections. Some people said 'Dar nahi lagta ab, dar nikal gaya ab' (now we are not scared, we are free from fear)," he said.
"It is interesting to me that the BJP and PM Modi spread so much fear, and the pressure of agencies on small businesses, everything vanished within seconds. It took years for them to spread this fear and vanished within seconds," he added.
