Congress members on Thursday staged a protest in the Karnataka Assembly against Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri's decision to hold a special discussion 'One Nation, One Election', terming it as ‘RSS agenda’.

As Congress alleged that discussion on the topic was being taken up against the rules and unilaterally without their consent, the Speaker hit back stating that the Opposition was backing off at the last minute after having submitted the list of names of members who will participate in the debate from their side.

Congress members termed the move to take up the discussion on the subject as "dictatorial, fascist, Hitler attitude and part of RSS agenda".
