  • ‘Mood Is Clear…’: RSS Leader Indresh Kumar Backtracks On ‘BJP’s Arrogance’ Remark |

    RSS leader Indresh Kumar took a backtrack after his controversial statement on ‘BJP’s arrogance’ sparked rumours of ‘rift’ between the two organisations. Kumar clarified that those who disgraced Lord Ram are out of power while those aiming to uphold his legacy are ruling for third term. 

    While talking to news agency ANI, Kumar changed his stance from his earlier statement; he said, “The atmosphere in the country is very clear at this time – those who opposed Ram are out of power, those who pledged devotion to Ram are in power, and the government has been formed for the third time under the leadership of Narendra Modi.” 

    The RSS leader ignited controversy as he claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was limited to 240 seats in the recent Lok Sabha elections, falling short of the majority mark due to its “arrogance.”

    He was speaking at an even near Jaipur on Thursday, when he remarked, “The party which did the bhakti (of lord Ram) but became arrogant was stopped at 241 but it was made the biggest party,” he said, in an apparent reference to Narendra Modi-led BJP which got 240 seats in the Lok Sabha seats. 

    Indresh Kumar’s statement comes few days after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwant, in a statement said that a true ‘sevak’ should serve people humbly and uphold their dignity without ‘arrogance’. 

    Yesterday, the RSS attempted to dispel suggestions of a rift with the BJP and clarified that such claims are mere speculation intended to sow confusion. 

  • ‘Stopped At 241 By Lord Ram’: RSS Leader Indresh Kumar Says BJP’s Arrogance Reflected In Poll Results |

    Jaipur: In hard-hitting remarks on the outcome of the Lok sabha polls, RSS leader Indresh Kumar on Thursday slammed the ruling BJP for ‘arrogance’ and the opposition INDIA bloc for being ‘anti-Ram’.

    Speaking at the ‘Ramrath Ayodhya Yatra Darshan Poojan Samaroh’ at Kanota near Jaipur, the RSS national executive member did not mention the rivals by name but suggested that the poll outcome reflected their attitudes.

    “The party which did the bhakti (of lord Ram) but became arrogant was stopped at 241 but it was made the biggest party,” he said, in an apparent reference to Narendra Modi-led BJP which got 240 seats in the Lok Sabha seats.

    “And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234,” he said, apparently referring to the INDIA bloc.

    “See the ‘Vidhan’ of Ram Rajya in democracy; those who did ‘Bhakti (worshipped) of Ram but gradually turned arrogant, that party emerged as the biggest party, but the vote and power that should have been given was stopped by God due to their arrogance,” he said.

    “Those who opposed Ram, none of them was given power. Even all of them together were made number two. God’s justice is true and enjoyable,” he said.

    “Those who worship Ram should be humble and those who oppose Ram, the Lord himself dealt with them,” he said.

    He said Lord Ram does not discriminate and does not punish. “Ram does not make anyone lament. Ram gives justice to everyone. He gives and will keep on giving. Lord Ram was always just and will remain so,” he said.

    Kumar also said Lord Ram protected people and did good to Ravana too.

    The remark came days after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said that a true ‘sevak’ does not have arrogance and serves the people by maintaining ‘dignity’.
