Rahul Gandhi, said "disorder" is in the DNA of Congress family and it draws strength from it. He contrasted it with "order and discipline" at RSS shakhas which kills individual thinking. "You see the shakhas of RSS. There is a straight queue in shakhas. If any one makes a noise there, he will be hit with a baton. Have you talked to any RSS and BJP leader? Discipline is just an excuse for them to murder individuality. And this is the thought process, which is running the country.(PTI) (28/05/2015)

<b>Rahul Gandhi's Land Bill claims 'baseless', should do 'homework', says BJP </b></br> The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hit back at Rahul Gandhi for his attack on the Narendra Modi government over the land Ordinance, saying he should do his homework and not make "wild" and "baseless" allegations as it was Congress that had played "havoc" with the poor with its "garibi hatao" slogan. Seeking to turn the tables on the opposition party, BJP asked Rahul to first explain the "politics of money over bodies" in Congress-ruled Uttarakhand in the wake of allegations of swindling of funds meant for the victims of the natural calamity that struck the hill state in 2013. "Rahul should first give an account of the corruption by Uttarakhand government. Rahul does not do any homework and the making of baseless allegations has become a part of his politics," said Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. (30/05/2015)

He carried on with his attack on the RSS and said that the most "hilarious" thing about those who come out of shakha is that they do not have to answer. "They just come there in a queue and told not to argue."(PTI) (28/05/2015)

4. Asking the party's student wing cadres to fight RSS in educational institutions wherever RSS is imposing its ideology, Gandhi said, "Wherever RSS tries to impose its thought process, you stand and stop them. Wherever they want to bring the order of shakha, take the Congress party's disorder there." Alleging interference of RSS in education in the backdrop of the controversy over appointments in some key institutions, he said, "RSS has its total influence (poora haath) on the education ministry, which under direct control of HRD minister Smriti Irani. "Earlier eminent scientists used to give their suggestions to IITs and IIMs. Now they don't want to give their suggestions. They want to withdraw. Because a certain ideology is being imposed."
