Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren recently compared the RSS to 'rats,' sparking a sharp response from BJP state president Babulal Marandi. Marandi remarked, 'On one hand, he is saying that the RSS is a rat. We, too, are associated with the RSS. If he is so scared of a 'rat,' how will he protect the vast state of Jharkhand?' Marandi further criticized Soren's leadership, questioning his ability to handle significant responsibilities if he is rattled by such a minor comparison. This remark has escalated the political rhetoric between the BJP and CM Soren, as both parties continue their verbal sparring over the role of the RSS in Indian politics and governance.
