Sri Preston Kulkarni is actually the nephew of the late Pramod Mahajan, a top RSS-BJP leader who organized the "Ram Rath Yatra" in 1990s that left hundreds of Muslims dead. His cousin is Pramod's daughter, current BJP MP @poonam_mahajan.

Why not give Kulkarni "a break"?
1) He's running for Congress. He wants political power. When do you ever give people seeking political power "a break"? Isn't the duty of journalists to hold the powerful accountable and ask deeply uncomfortable questions?

2) He's a seasoned diplomat whose next posting, until he resigned, was going to be in New Delhi. Combined with his family ties to high-level BJP politicians, there is no rational explanation for his supposed ignorance of the political significance of the RSS.
My question is why a local #TX22 journalist, @ChadDWashington, seems more interested in questioning why voters would be concerned about a congressional candidate's #RSS ties than he is in doing the journalistic working of interrogating those seeking political power.
