The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has accused governments in West Bengal and Kerala of supporting violence against the Hindus.
The Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal is encouraging anti-national elements to facilitate Muslim vote bank politics, the organisation said in a resolution passed in the annual meeting of its highest decision-making body, Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS).
It said the Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPM-led Left Front government in Kerala has been turning a blind eye to increasing violence against the activists and organisations related to the RSS. The RSS held the West Bengal government responsible for declining Hindu population in the state, with its joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale saying, “it was a matter of serious concern”.
The state government was also accused of discriminating against Hindus in Bengal, and that Hindus were being attacked at several places by fundamentalist forces in the state.
Hosabale called the situation in Kerala “worrisome”, saying violence against Hindu organisations and activists is on the rise after the Left Democratic Front came to power.
Echoing similar views, ABPS expresses grave concern over the unabated rise in violence by Jehadi elements in West Bengal, and declining Hindu population in the state, at a meeting in Coimbatore city, the first in the organisation’s 92-year-old history to be held in Tamil Nadu.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
