Kundan Chandravat, 'Sah Prachar Pramukh' of RSS in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, announced the reward to avenge the killing of its workers in Kerala, allegedly by CPI-M workers.

"The Kerala Chief Minister is killing our RSS workers who want to take this country forward.
"So I have announced a Rs 1 crore reward for the one who beheads such a killer Chief Minister. I will pay him by selling my assets," Chandravat was shown saying in a video clip which vent viral.

The RSS, however, distanced itself from Chandravat's remarks, with a top national-level functionary saying he did not even know him.

"The RSS strongly condemns such statements. The Sangh does not believe in violence. But we will continue to protest against attacks on our workers in Kerala in a democratic and peaceful manner," the organisation's national 'Sah Prachar Pramukh' (joint chief of publicity) J Nanda Kumar told PTI.

Kumar said he does not know who Chandravat was. Hitting out at the Sangh, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury tweeted that Chandravat's comments "revealed true colours of RSS as a terrorist outfit".

Yechury also questioned the "silence" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA government over the remarks.

"The silence of the government is an endorsement that emboldens the RSS to issue such obnoxious threats," te CPI(M) Politburo said in a statement.

By this the RSS has reconfirmed that it spearheads the politics of violence and terror as has been clear in Kerala in the recent months, it said.

The party also demanded immediate action in accordance with law against Chandravat by the state and the central governments.

Kerala is witnessing violent political killings of RSS and CPI(M) workers, with the two organisations locked in a bloody feud.

ISIS offer women for their fighters and RSS offer money to their fighters. RSS members know that money can buy everything.
At least ISIS have dare to claim their crimes but RSS doesn't have.
Both are threat to human, nation and world. They are insane.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
