Arvind Kejriwal, the former chief minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of engaging in unethical political practices. During a public meeting titled 'Janata Ki Adalat,' Kejriwal directly addressed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, posing five pointed questions regarding the BJP's alleged use of central agencies for political gain and the RSS's complicity in these actions.
Kejriwal questioned the legitimacy of BJP's actions, stating that their use of agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to topple opposition governments and silence dissent is fundamentally flawed. He pointed to instances where individuals known for corruption have been welcomed into the BJP, a party he believes has been born from the RSS's ideology. He questioned the RSS's role in ensuring the BJP remains true to its core values, suggesting they have failed to restrain Modi from engaging in such practices.
Kejriwal further pointed out the tension between the BJP and the RSS, citing JP Nadda's statement that the BJP no longer needs the RSS's support. He viewed this as a sign of a strained relationship and questioned the RSS's silence on this matter. Finally, he questioned the RSS's double standard on the retirement age for political leaders, highlighting that while they have advocated for a 75-year age limit, they have chosen to exempt Prime Minister Modi from this rule, raising concerns about their commitment to their own principles.
Kejriwal emphasized his commitment to public service and his decision to resign as chief minister due to allegations of corruption. He declared that he had joined politics out of a desire to serve the country and not for personal gain. His speech served as a call to action for voters, encouraging them to judge him based on his honesty and integrity. He asserted that he would step down from his official residence after the 'shraddh' period and live amongst the people who had offered him shelter.
Kejriwal's accusations against the BJP and the RSS highlight a growing rift between these two powerful organizations. This conflict is likely to play a significant role in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, where Kejriwal is seeking to retain his power. His accusations raise serious questions about the BJP's political tactics and the RSS's role in shaping the BJP's actions. The public's reaction to these accusations and their impact on the upcoming elections will be closely watched.
