CM Siddaramaiah reiterates opposition to RSS, caste system, superstition

Bengaluru, Nov 12 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said he had established the Kaginele Peetha as the voice of all oppressed communities and reiterated his lifelong opposition to the RSS, the caste system, and blind beliefs.
Speaking after laying the foundation stone for the new building of the Kurubara Sangha and hostel here, Siddaramaiah said his clear intention from the beginning was to ensure education and hostel facilities for children of the Kuruba community.
“The RSS ideology divides society through caste. It is anti-working class and against the labouring sections. That’s why I have opposed it since the beginning. It was with this conviction that I proposed Kaginele Peetha to represent all oppressed communities,” the Chief Minister said.
