'Ravan Came In Form Of Golden Deer': BJP Slams Kejriwal For 'Wrong' Ramayana Interpretation
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal faces criticism from BJP for his version of the Ramayana story at an election rally, leading to allegations of misinterpretation.
Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal is facing flak from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), after the ex-CM of Delhi mentioned an incident from Ramayana during his election rally, ahead of Delhi Assembly Elections, on Monday.
Addressing a rally in Vishwas Nagar, where took a potshot at BJP, he narrated a story about Sita getting kidnapped. He said, "I want to warn the slum dwellers that these days they (people of BJP) are staying in slums, they do not love you, they love your vote and will sell all your land after the elections. Lord Ram was exiled for 14 years, so one day he went to the forest to arrange for food, left Mata Sita in the hut and told Laxman that you will protect Sita Maa, meanwhile, Ravan came in the form of a golden deer. Sita said to Laxman that I want this deer... Laxman went and Ravan kidnapped Sita Maa, these BJP people are also like that golden deer, do not get involved in their trap."

However, BJP leaders have criticised Kejriwal's version of the story. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, as quoted by ANI said, "This is not the first time Arvind Kejriwal has tried to misinterpret the Ramayana and insult our religion. These are irreligious people... Yesterday they said that the demon came in the form of a golden deer, but the gold platelets of the Sheeshmahal have not yet come out of the gold...

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), leader of opposition party in Delhi Assembly, said, "Listen to the strange knowledge of Farjiwal, who pretends to visit temples during elections, on Ramayana... When Shri Ramachandra went to the forest to look for food, Ravana came in the form of a golden deer and He kidnapped Mother Sita and took her away.... Kejriwal ji should be ashamed for making fun of Sanatan in this way. On one hand you beat the drum of world class education model in Delhi and on the other hand you do not even have the knowledge of Ramayana..."
