=== 'Burn the chaddi' campaign===
In June 2022 the Congress students' wing NSUI (National Students Union of India) protested against the "saffronisation" of school textbooks. As a symbolic protest they burnt an underwear outside the Home of Education Minister BC Nagesh. They set fire to a pair of khaki shorts similar to the short in the uniform of the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] (RSS) members.<ref name="freepressjournal" />

The BJP complained to the police accusing the NSUI activists of trying to burn the minister's house down. Congress leader [[Siddaramaiah]] said, "During a protest, we symbolically burnt one underwear - just one underwear. But the police and government made it a big issue and said we are trying to burn the house... So let's start a chaddi-burning campaign," The Congress launched a "burn-the-chaddi" campaign.<ref name="freepressjournal">{{cite news |title=Karnataka: What is 'burn the chaddi' campaign?
