New Delhi: Ahead of Delhi elections the war of words continues in Bharatiya Janata Party and Aam Aadmi Party. In its fresh comments BJP leaders taking “chunavi Hindu” jibe at former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and leaders of the ruling party in Delhi.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva accuses Kejriwal of insulting Sanatan Dharma and misinterpreting the sacred text, Ramcharitmanas. He also accused Kejriwal of “sudden interest in temples” alleging that he only remembers them when elections are near.
Speaking with the media Sachdev said that the way Arvind Kejriwal has misinterpreted Shri Ramcharitmanas and has tried to insult the Sanatana, this is not the first time. These people are Adharmi.
“I don’t know what his Nani (grandmother) recited to him, but he (Arvind Kejriwal) used to say that the Ram Temple should not be built. Now that the elections are coming up, he is remembering Ram Temple and all the other temples.”
On January 20, Kejriwal warned the people of Vishwas Nagar not to fall into the “trap” of BJP.
Kejriwal had purportedly claimed that it was Ravan had turned into a golden deer to kidnap Sita. BJP leaders pointed out that it was demon Marich who had done so, according to Ramayan.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari called Kejriwal a “chunavi Hindu” saying that he has been exposed before people.
“Arvind Kejriwal is a ‘Chunavi’ Hindu’. He has little knowledge of Ramayana and could not recite it properly… The ‘Chunavi’ Hindu face of Arvind Kejriwal has been exposed in front of the people of Delhi and the country…”
However, Kejriwal hit back at BJP, alleging that the party admires “Ravan” because they have a “demonic nature.”
“Yesterday I said that Ravana came as a golden deer and Mother Sita wanted that deer. They are saying that it was not Ravana (who came as a deer) but it was demon Marichi instead. The entire BJP is protesting outside my house and asking why I insulted Ravana. They love Ravana so much. They are of a demonic nature. I want to warn the people living in slums and poor sections of Delhi that these people will gulp you down like demons if they come to power,” the former Delhi CM said.
AAP leader and Delhi’s former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia took a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party saying that the entire party immediately came in defence of Ravana, as if they are “descendants of Ravana”.
