If Arvind Kejriwal wanted, he could have raised the issue with Mohan Bhagwat earlier as JP Nadda’s words came out during an interview during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections – but the Aam Aadmi Party leader has now found the right opportunity.
Arvind Kejriwal, who had expressed concerns over the removal of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath then, has now raised questions over the removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal may not have found these matters important then, or they may have planned them now – and recent remarks by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat may have fueled Kejriwal’s enthusiasm.
Ever since the 2024 Lok Sabha election results, Mohan Bhagwat’s suggestion has been heard under some pretext – which is why Kejriwal seems to have the idea to target Modi and the BJP with it reason.
Arvind Kejriwal who entered the public court appeared before the people of Delhi as Lord Ram but all this did not belong to the agenda of Ram Raja or Hindutva politics but because of the former Deputy Chief of Delhi Minister Manish Sisodia. He considers himself Laxman and to the Ram-Laxman political duo, Sisodia now calls the BJP Ravana.
Seeing an opportunity, Arvind Kejriwal went back to his old tricks. He asked people if they thought he was a “thief” or did they think the man who sent him to jail was a “thief”?
Describing the Delhi Assembly elections as a litmus test for himself, Arvind Kejriwal said if people think he is dishonest, then do not vote for him. Even in the 2020 elections, Arvind Kejriwal had said something similar that if people think he is a terrorist, then they should vote for the BJP.
Questions of Kejriwal and its meaning
As soon as Arvind Kejriwal ascended the dais of the public court constituted by the Aam Aadmi Party, slogans of “Na rukega, na jhookega…” started ringing out. Then, some AAP supporters were also seen holding a poster that read “Our Kejriwal is honest” – Arvind Kejriwal’s 5 questions to Mohan Bhagwat being the most prominent among them.
Putting BJP in the dock Questions to RSS: Arvind Kejriwal said that the BJP was born from the womb of the RSS and while reminding BJP president JP Nadda about the Sangh’s words, he asked, has the son become bigger than the mother?
Arvind Kejriwal, therefore, directly asked Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat whether the BJP and its government at the Center, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet colleague Amit Shah Was what was being done also approved by the Sangh?
Why Modi isn’t treated like Advani: During the Lok Sabha elections, Arvind Kejriwal had expressed concerns over the removal of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and now asked senior supremo Lal Krishna Ajwani if he could be removed on the basis of his age, the then Prime Minister Narendra Modi Narendra Modi is 75 years old, but why can’t this rule be implemented?
While listing out all senior leaders of the BJP, Arvind Kejriwal mentioned Amit’s point that the rule does not apply to Modi – and now he has asked Mohan Bhagwat to give it Answer.
It remains to be seen whether the Sangh’s reaction is evident at certain events or the issue ends with a muted response from Delhi’s BJP leaders – but Kejriwal doesn’t seem to be settling down either.
Is politics dangerous for democracy? Arvind Kejriwal accused the central probe agency of creating fear among political opponents.
Mohan Bhagwat’s question to the RSS chief was, isn’t all this dangerous for Indian democracy?
Has the BJP turned into a washing machine: Arvind Kejriwal also asked Mohan Bhagwat about the inclusion of leaders accused of corruption in the BJP. He said, “Those leaders who were initially called corrupt by Modi and Amit Shah were later incorporated into the BJP – have you imagined such a BJP?”
Does the RSS agree with this politics?
Will Kejriwal’s issues have an impact?
The issue raised by Arvind Kejriwal did not have any impact on the BJP’s performance in the Lok Sabha elections, but there was a clash between Yogi Adityanath and the BJP leadership – until It took Sanger’s whip to bring him under control.
Now that Arvind Kejriwal is targeting the BJP in the same vein again, the question is whether such talks will be of any benefit to the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi elections – and if the Lok Sabha results are anything to go by, then absolutely no benefit.
So, could Arvind Kejriwal’s issue possibly lead to a clash between the BJP and the Sangh, like what was seen between the BJP leadership and Yogi a few days ago?
If you look at it from Sanger’s perspective, there are two sides to the matter. What matters first is to what extent any leader’s politics align with the Sangh’s Hindutva agenda – and secondly, will any of the BJP’s tactics hurt the sentiments of the people if that leader also engages in anti-BJP politics? These leaders can use some leverage against the BJP.
The same political line was reflected recently in the way Mohan Bhagwat rejected slogans like ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ of the BJP.
Mohan Bhagwat’s interpretation of the BJP slogan is directly related to Mamata Banerjee. In 2019, Mohan Bhagwat also warned Devendra Fadnavis not to break the alliance with the Shiv Sena. It is another matter for the BJP to smash the Shiv Sena into pieces.
The similarity between Uddhav Thackeray and Yogi Adityanath is that both are of the same political line, but neither entered politics from a Sangh background nor are they directly associated with the BJP .
You may recall that during the Ramlila movement, there was a lot of talk about Sangh worker Karseva – and later, Arvind Kejriwal was also seen as trying to infiltrate Hindutva politics.
One of the hallmarks of Arvind Kejriwal is that he proved to be a parasite of the Congress party from the very beginning and the Congress party always suffered because of him. In fact, the BJP also benefited greatly from Arvind Kejriwal’s Ramlila movement when it seized power at the Center in 2014.
In fact, this political line suited the Sangh. Of course, the Sangh wants the BJP to rule the entire country, but he never wants it to get out of control. This is also very clear now.
It seems to be an attempt to attack Arvind Kejriwal for the same political ailments; it is also an attempt to tell, explain and ask – does the Sangh agree with what is happening to the AAP leader?
Electorally, Arvind Kejriwal may not get any benefit in the future as he did in the Lok Sabha, but if he gets a little relief because of the Sangh, who has to go on the defensive, then it will be a big deal.
Regardless, the Sangh has told the BJP to prepare the local leadership in Delhi. The BJP is trying, but in a completely different style, which the Sangh may not like. That’s what Arvind Kejriwal needs now.
