Arvind Kejriwal, the former Chief Minister of Delhi and national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of orchestrating a conspiracy to prove him corrupt. In a public address in Delhi, Kejriwal claimed that Modi sought to undermine AAP's reputation for honesty and integrity, leading to the arrest and imprisonment of Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia. He also questioned the ethical standards of the BJP and the silence of the RSS, the ideological parent organization of the BJP, on these matters.
Kejriwal's accusations stem from his recent release from Tihar jail after being implicated in an excise policy case. He maintains his innocence and alleges that the case is politically motivated, designed to damage his reputation and political career. He pointed to the BJP's control of governments in 22 states and the absence of free electricity or rent benefits for women in these states as evidence of the party's hypocrisy. He questioned whether the BJP's actions, which he views as politically driven, are a reflection of its commitment to transparency and ethical governance.
Kejriwal's attack extends to the RSS, questioning their silence on the actions of Modi and the BJP. He highlighted the RSS's tradition of requiring its leaders to retire at the age of 75, a rule that was applied to veteran leaders like LK Advani. However, he noted that BJP president JP Nadda recently suggested that this rule would not apply to Modi. This discrepancy, according to Kejriwal, raises questions about the RSS's commitment to its own principles and whether it holds Modi accountable for his actions. Kejriwal's sharp criticism of Modi and the BJP has further intensified political tensions in India, highlighting the deep divisions between the ruling party and the opposition.
