Arvind Kejriwal Letter to Mohan Bhagwat: Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal has written to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat asking if he agreed with the Bharatiya Janata Party's politics of “using central agencies to break up parties and topple opposition governments.” In the letter, Kejriwal posed five questions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's actions and emphasized that ensuring the tricolour waves proudly is a collective responsibility of all Indians.
The AAP supremo wrote that he's 'very worried' about the current situation in the country. "The direction in which the BJP's central government is taking the country and its politics is harmful for the entire nation," he said.
"If this continues, our democracy will end, our country will end. Parties will keep coming and going, elections will keep coming and going, leaders will keep coming and going, but India will always remain. It is our responsibility to ensure that the tricolor of this country always flies proudly in the sky. In this regard, there are some questions in the minds of the people which I am placing before you. My intention is only to save and strengthen Indian democracy," he added.
Arvind Kejriwal's 5 Questions To Mohan Bhagwat
1-Kejriwal claimed that across the country, parties are been broken and governments are being toppled by offering "all kinds of inducements or by threatening" their leaders with ED-CBI action against them. "Is it right for the country and its democracy to topple elected governments in this manner? Do you or the RSS approve of gaining power by any means of dishonesty," he asked.
2- The Former Chief Minister noted that some Opposition leaders, who were labelled corrupt by the Prime Minister and other BJP leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah, were inducted into the BJP on several occasions. Taking a veiled dig at NCP chief Ajit Pawar, the AAP leader said, "on 28 June 2023, in a public speech, Modi accused a party and one of its leaders of a scam of Rs 70 thousand crores. A few days after that, that party was broken and the government was formed with the same leader who was called corrupt till then. He was then made the Deputy Chief Minister. There are many such cases when corrupt leaders of other parties were inducted into the BJP. Did you or RSS workers imagine such a BJP? Don't you feel pain seeing all this," he asked.
3- Kejriwal noted that BJP was a party that was born "from the womb of RSS" and it is the responsibility of RSS to bring BJP back on the right path if it is misled. "Have you ever stopped the Prime Minister from doing all these wrong things," the AAP leader asked Bhagwat.
4- He further noted that JP Nadda, during the Lok Sabha elections, said that BJP no longer needs RSS. "RSS is in a way the mother of BJP. Has the son grown so much that he has started taunting his mother? I have come to know that this statement of Nadda ji has deeply hurt every RSS worker. The country wants to know what his statement felt in your heart," he asked in Hindi.
5- The AAP leader further claimed that a rule was made that BJP leaders would retire after the age of 75 years, under which many big party leaders like LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi were asked to take retirement in the past 10 years. "Now Amit Shah ji says that this law will not be applicable to Modi ji. Do you agree that the law under which Advani ji was retired will not be applicable to Modi ji now? Shouldn't the law be the same for everyone," Kejriwal asked.
The former CM argued that these questions are arising in the minds of every Indian today and hoped that Bhagwat would think over the questions posed by him and reply.
